In the latest Paste Cover Story, Tierra Whack talks mental health, reclaiming joy, and her breakout debut album, 'WORLD WIDE WHACK.'
In our latest Digital Cover Story, the singer, songwriter, rapper and visual artist sits down with us to talk about mental health, reclaiming joy, and her breakout debut album,Decked out in a white jumpsuit detailed with bright red flowers to match her fiery scarlet hair and oversized cherry colored frames, Tierra Whack is sipping on a delicious-looking mocktail.
The album’s follow-up single, “SHOWER SONG,” has Whack playfully chronicling her shower singing abilities—and it brings the same carefree energy of “CHANEL PIT.” Whack casts a shadow on her characteristic colorful persona and gets down to the heart of the album in “27 CLUB.
And Whack is exactly right. Reaching the point of not wanting to die is nothing to be ashamed of. If anything, being more open about it makes other people feel less alone. “Final stage of being numb / Felt this way since I was young / Tell me what could I have done different,” she opens on the album’s fourth track, “NUMB.” Throughout our interview, Whack keeps stressing how badly she wants to give everything to her fans, even the really ugly parts because they all come from her.
When Whack finally got to the bottom of the hole, she committed one final act of selflessness by warning her mother and her loved ones that she was feeling suicidal—even though she was beyond the point of caring enough to stick around. She details this conflicting feeling in “TWO NIGHT,” a warning and confession of her willingness to finally let go.
These quirks measure just how much Whack stands out. She thinks about every detail and how to craft a distinctive feeling, making her music an all-encompassing sensory experience. The visuals behind every song are just as important as the sounds, and Whack writes visceral descriptions in her lyrics while building a world through sampling beats and whatever affectations she throws her voice behind. All of this comes from her writing process.
