Why do we like this?

It's Dessa. Not ODESZA, O-DESSA, or O'Dessa. 

Ohhhhh, Dessa! Yes, from Doomtree. Yes, the poet, lyricist, rapper and singer-songwriter from Minnesota. Yes, the woman on a world tour for her new album Chime. Yes, the musician behind this amazing anthem for the female experience everywhere. 

"As a woman always something left to take," she speak-raps. "We don't say go out and be brave, no we say be careful, stay safe." 

But Dessa doesn't stay safe or hold back here on "Fire Drills." Instead, she pulls the alarm.
