Delyn Grey is Rock’s next fierce female. Her latest EP,Good Girls Die, gives you a fiery taste of the young artist’s unapologetic approach to pursuing a career in music through a unique and fresh sound— inspired by a diverse range of artists like Kurt Cobain, Annie Lennox, Trent Reznor, and Joan Jett. Delyn is carving out her own mold, and it’s time you tune in.
Regret Me is an anthem for anyone who’s felt overlooked and underestimated. Delyn’s lyrics speak to her own experience with people who didn’t take a chance on her music, but makes it known that she’s going to get where she needs to be regardless : “you’re going to regret not pulling the strings when you had the chance to bite the hand that feeds you […] you’re going to regret me.”
