At its core, ‘Lasting Effects’—a new release from indie-pop artist Avery Lynch (with production assists from Jordanlilvee and Michael Blum)—is a powerful breakup anthem that flips a familiar narrative on its head, transforming bitter into sweet and repurposing the pain of being “dissed” and discarded by someone you once loved.
Inspired by a salty parting shot from an ex who claimed she’d never find someone like him, Lynch uses her ethereal and comforting vocals to rediscover another voice after heartbreak. Incorporating a blend of soft piano, ambient textures, and hushed percussions, ‘Lasting Effects’ is quietly powerful and gracefully commanding.
A Message of Resilience
The track delivers a message of resilience and renewal, showing that walking away can be the first step in the direction of something you didn’t realize you needed (or deserved). Avery’s storytelling is raw but hopeful, grounded in the realization that a relationship should never require you to mute, edit, or apologize for who you are—and that self-love is the ultimate significant other.
With relatable, expressive lyrics and an inspirational tone, ‘Lasting Effects’ doesn’t dwell on loss—it explores growth, celebrates clarity, and finds beauty in the breakup.
Avery dives deep regarding her approach to writing this song,
“I knew he was wrong at the time, but as I’ve gotten further from the situation, I realized that in a way he was right. I don’t ever want someone like him and I don’t actually want to be loved like that.” — Avery Lynch
Where to Listen
‘Lasting Effects’ is available now on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube. Whether you're listening on a late-night drive or soundtracking a fresh chapter of your life, the song is meant to be both healing and empowering. It’s a must-add to your breakup recovery playlist—or honestly, any moment that calls for strength disguised in softness.
