Jessica Darrow – Surface Pressure (From “Encanto”)

Have you already seen the musical film “Encanto”? One of the songs featured in it is “Surface Pressure.” It’s sung in a scene where the protagonist’s sister, Luisa, feels immense pressure and is on the verge of being crushed by it.

A noteworthy point is that Jessica Darrow, who voices Luisa, fully inhabits the role and sings in a lower register than usual.

It’s also recommended as a motivational anthem for anyone who feels like they’re being overwhelmed by pressure.

From the latter half of 2021 into the first half of 2022, it continued to climb high on the charts in both the UK and the US, and even in February 2022 its momentum showed no signs of slowing.

Rooted in the highly personal experience of divorce and said to include a message to her son, the beautiful track Easy On Me also drew attention for its music video, directed by Xavier Dolan.
