In “High Note$ 7.0”, The Swift Kicks Verano delivers more than just a catchy hook—it’s a vivid, unfiltered chronicle of their early days navigating the surreal underbelly of Los Angeles. The track feels like a sonic journal entry, filled with first impressions of a city that promises everything and hides just as much.
This isn’t your typical “city of dreams” anthem. Instead, Verano dives headfirst into the contradictions of L.A.—its neon-lit nightlife, fleeting connections, hedonistic highs, and strange, often comical realities. Through witty lyrics and an infectious beat, the song paints a picture of couch-surfing with strangers, hazy beach days, and encounters with characters whose lifestyles verge on parody. Yet, it all feels real, grounded in personal experience.
What stands out most is the balance between humor and honesty. There’s a self-awareness here that makes the song relatable, even if you’ve never stepped foot in California. Verano doesn’t glamorize the city’s chaos—they reflect it, question it, and ultimately embrace it with sharp storytelling and an ear for melody.
“High Note$ 7.0” is less about chasing fame and more about surviving—and thriving—in a city built on illusion. It’s a bold, memorable statement from an artist who clearly has stories to tell and the talent to make you listen.
