Eylsia Nicolas lays the truth bare with “Breakdown”

Defiant yet deeply personal, Eylsia Nicolas shares “Breakdown,” a punchy beat, and is grounded in Pop Rock, yet it’s difficult to really pin down what genre it belongs to. It’s a reminder that she is shy about swapping sounds, emotions, or explanations.
In “Breakdown,” expression trumps classification, and for Eylsia Nicolas, the point is the act of creation, distinct from what is created, the power to make music rather than to be consumed by pain.
What makes “Breakdown” strong is that sometimes making music is all you have, instead of giving up when you are carrying too much. In this regard, the song serves as an outlet and a form of commentary, and it is proof that art can take root when words fail.
“Breakdown,” released near the end of the year, is a final sentence with some fight left in it rather than surrender. It lets people know that sometimes healing is loud, twisted, and with no apologies.
