Through "Choker" SkyDxddy extends a metaphorical hand which pierces my anxiety haze to guide me into a space where others recognize me unconditionally. I use smiling as a habit when facing mental chaos which makes this song act as a reflective mirror for my hidden internal turmoil. The music combines trap rhythms with eerie electronic elements to create a sound which matches the confusion of panic. In SkyDxddy's unguarded vocals you hear both their inner butterflies and their steel-willed refusal to hide which sounds like a secret whispered in a packed room.
The power of "Choker" comes from its refusal to simplify high-functioning anxiety into easy-to-digest solutions. This song does not present solutions nor does it offer any feel-good conclusion. The song takes you through the distressing experience of appearing composed although your life functions at a bare minimum. The musical pauses seem to carry more weight than the music does with a feeling similar to when you take shallow breaths to maintain control. You don't merely hear this song but experience its survival simulation which delivers the same difficult impact as today's art installations.
Through her honest approach SkyDxddy distinguishes herself as a unique artist. She chooses not to transform suffering into attention-seeking capital. Through her music she extends support to all who struggle with the tiresome requirement to maintain typical behaviors. Listening to “Choker” triggers memories of many days I survived as my emotions frayed yet reassures me I join countless others fighting this same internal battle. Through this display SkyDxddy extends profound generosity by recognizing others without making any condemning assessments. Through a world where people focus on put-on appearances SkyDxddy provides genuine authenticity to people who need it. This song doesn’t just resonate; this song creates space within itself to accommodate aspects of ourselves we generally hide from others.
