‘The Ending’ is the empowering new track from Irish dark-pop artist Lyra. The track is immediately defined by its pulsating electronic beat and glittery synths, before transforming into a cathartic, catchy and memorable chant. Her vocal is anthemic and memorable, with uncompromising lyrics that she explains are about “deciding to stop letting thoughts like 'What if I had changed? What if I had said something different? What if I had waited? What if I hadn't booked that flight home? What if he finds someone else?' consume my life.” Be sure to check out her debut self-titled album which dropped earlier in 2024. -Dan Peeke
