7Chariot's "Danger In Me" is a cathartic ode to self-acceptance
Sometimes you just need to be reminded that nobody is perfect. We all have qualities that we wish we could change, but with 7Chariot's latest glistening pop offering she carries a message of assertive self-acceptance and encourages us to become one with the things we cannot change.
At first, "Danger In Me" feels like a simple, fun-loving pop song, but it holds an important purpose. Written on a broken keyboard, it tiptoes in with playful, plonking keyboards that bounce along on an infectious beat, but as the chorus comes in, a dark fire starts to burn.
7Chariot, the moniker for 20 year old Nashville-based artist Claire Wilkinson, exposes her inner insecurities on this track and uses the dark disco banger as a cathartic, self-medicating remedy where she comes to full acceptance of the darker sides of her personality.
In her own words she explains: "It’s about feeling vulnerable yet brazen and closed off; it’s about being a bit of a contradiction. It’s incredibly personal, and in many ways I believe I wrote it as a means of self-validation for the qualities I find most challenging in my own experience...I hope that anyone who listens can hear and feel the message in the lyrics, and realise we all have a little danger in us some times and that’s ok.”
