HUNGER (feat. Gray, Zedd)
Changing the course of the lyrics she was used to, Steinfeld brought together American duo Gray and producer and DJ Zedd for a sultry, irreverent track that became known as “Starving.” Building on the iconicity that dominated the 2016 mainstream scene and referencing The Chainsmokers and Halsey, for example, the fun song makes good use of the performer’s vocals and draws inspiration from EDM and pop rock.
MOST GIRLS
If in 2015 Steinfeld started talking about self-acceptance and empowerment, she would do the same with “Most Girls”. The song, guided by the cohesion of a simple and very functional electropop, moves away from the antiemic precepts of the songs whose main objective is to deliver a positive message to the listeners – in this case, to women and to the fact that they are stuck in a structurally sexist society that has stagnated over time. Despite the weight of the song, it also comes with an incredible music video directed by Hannah Lux Davis.
RETURN TO LIFE
In 2018, Hailee was chosen as the protagonist of the ambitious project “Bumblebee”, a pre-sequel to the “Transformers” saga. The result was not only overwhelmingly positive, but also launched one of the best entries of the artist’s musical career with ‘Back to Life’. Bringing more mature verses and an overwhelmingly confident vocal rendition, the song was produced by the skilled hands of Jorgen Odegard in a nostalgic rush infused with the best of synth-pop and future-pop.

I LOVE YOU
Steinfeld’s second EP brought the great underrated gem “I Love You’s” as the lead single. Inspired by legendary musician Annie Lennox, the production alludes to the ballad “No More I Love You’s” and opts for a contemporary and practical approach, delving into a deconstructed game based on a splendid and functional formula. Eventually, a crescendo is created that is limited to the instruments, while the clean vocals remain in a one-dimensional spectrum and dramatic in good measure.
