‘Abused’ is a cathartic tale of resilience and strength from Liyah Bey

The track comes with a minimalist lyric video intended to help illustrate the reality of the words that she sings

It will be the first headline tour for the 21-year-old singer-songwriter.

An emotionally resonating and powerful new release that aims to provide an outlet and voice to survivors of emotional, psychological, and physical abuse, latest Liyah Bey single ‘Abused’ is an affecting track that leaves a really poignant mark on you as a listener, painting a vivid image of what victims of these kinds of situations go through.

The track unfolds like an epic ballad, with Liyah’s compelling and powerful vocals carrying the weight of the occasion and operating as a beacon of strength in the face of such adversities. Every word that she says and every note that it plays feels packed full of heart and authenticity, like they are the words of somebody who has been caged and silenced and is finally getting their moment of catharsis. This marriage of vulnerability and resilience makes for a really compelling listen, and hopefully one that resonates with listeners and maybe even convinces somebody that enough is enough.

“I’ve written hundreds of songs over the years,” says Bey, “but none have ever felt as necessary as this one. ‘Abused’ is for anyone who has carried something silently for far too long.”
