Sandy Netburn transforms teenage honesty into art on new single "I've Got Issues"

Long Island singer-songwriter Sandy Netburn’s new single, “I’ve Got Issues,” is a funny, emotional, and complicated look at the problems teens face in the 21st century. Sandy writes with the honesty of someone who doesn’t like to add extra details and the wisdom of an older person.

The outcome is authentically original songwriting that fuses contemporary vernacular with timeless emotional depth. Sandy’s song “I’ve Got Issues” shows how she can mix story with self-reflection. She talks about her flaws and frustrations in a direct, playful way, creating a song that is both relatable and strangely beautiful. Her youthful perspective keeps the lyrics sharp, bright, and very modern.

Her live shows are just as personal as her songs, just her and a guitar, so her words and melodies can shine through without any distractions. Her unique sense of humor comes through in the random appearances of her ventriloquist puppets, which remind people that art and joy can live together in her world. Sandy writes with a deep understanding of the fears of her generation, which include feeling lost and overwhelmed by emotions.

However, she gives the song a lightness that makes it less heavy. On the other hand, “I’ve Got Issues” becomes a song about accepting yourself and laughing at life’s difficulties while fully embracing them. “I’ve Got Issues” is honest, intelligent, musically complex, and made with a level of self-awareness that really hits home. Sandy Netburn doesn’t want to be perfect, and that’s what makes her stand out.
