What’s impressive about Portraits of Tracy, a 21-year-old singer from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is how she’s already made waves with songs like “En Garde.” Tracy Amare, who also goes by the name Portraits of Tracy, has been releasing music on SoundCloud and Spotify since she was 15.

Highlighted by a ghastly and celestial ambiance, the track suddenly transitions into a blaring uproar led by Amare’s constant barrage of harsh realities. Compared to her contemporaries, Amare demonstrates a level of creativity that separates them from most. The instrumental is by far the most striking aspect of the track, constantly changing directions without losing sight of the song’s central focus as a rousing retaliation against any doubter of Amare’s success. And while there is a transition early on, the two opposing sides of the instrumental fuse together seamlessly. By the end, she’s done so much under 4 minutes of track time that it feels like the song alone is a significant shift in her career. Although her lyrics primarily consist of politically-fueled bars stemming from day-to-day hardships, the song in itself follows a narrative of Amare’s creation. As the latest chapter in what she considers to be an entire Portraits of Tracy universe, the song is a continuation of Junie’s journey, who is the main character and a parallel to Amare herself.
