Awaiting Abigail’s debut single, titled “Bad Mind”, displays raw emotion fused with a captivating guitar-dripping style. Released on December 1, 2024, this track serves as a confident introduction to the band’s previously established fanbase. The sharp guitar riffs, combined with the pounding rhythm section, create a sound that is new and unique.
At the centerpiece of “Bad Mind” is Abigail Hill’s compelling vocal performance. She pours out her heart and soul for the songs that she created, and as the lead vocalist, she guides your ears through the journey held within the song. Her vocals soar powerfully atop the heavy, thrilling, yet melodic instrumentation. The pieces of music culminate into great strength and vulnerability. The message of memoirs, abandonment, and a maxed will to overcome any and all adversity is available to all those willing to listen. This battle cry delivers the most aggressive and bold qualities in the song with the undying motivation to demolish any empowerment captured within the song. The inconsistency of the song is quite mind-racking. The segment changes to a chorus with a 7/4 groove that overlaps with the emotions at its core. The song is crafted in a manner that makes inner conflicts of self-awareness apparent. The verses are fairly pensive, and then, out of nowhere, the chorus allows it to exploit, giving off a sense of determination. It creates an illusion of winning the battle suggesting decisiveness. The final bit serves to strengthen that perception through guitar solos as the ultimate victory.
The band seamlessly blends hard rock and metal influences that draw from The Pretty Reckless and Halestorm. The blend proves their mastery of music. Abigail Hill is the perfect frontwoman for this project. And combining that with her background in acting, she increases the dimension of the explosiveness of the band. “Bad Mind” is not only a song but serves as a statement for facing struggles. It relates to anyone who has struggled with mental health. Awaiting Abigail has set the bar high with their debut single and is obviously willing to take over the hard rock space.
