“Wanna Be Enough“fuses indie rock sensibilities with a laid-back electronic groove of drum machines and synths. The song is built on a deliberately low-BPM foundation, allowing the listener to immerse themselves in its dense atmosphere. It begins with the crisp, hypnotic pattern of a drum machine: a steady electronic beat that establishes an intimate, melancholic tone. As the song reaches the chorus, it's all buttressed by a live drum groove and distorted guitar filled with interlocking soul perfectly, adding a layer of organic power and weight to the “slow-burn” intensity of the piece.
“The lyrics are a confession of not feeling enough for myself or the people around me,” says Volpato.
“It's about feeling small in a giant universe, while simultaneously fearing the finality of death. It's that paradox of wanting to be free from the gravity of expectations, yet terrified of letting go.”
Written, recorded and mixed by Volpato at his Fox Studio Seattle, the song reflects a meticulous level of craftsmanship and technical precision.
The final soundscape was entrusted to the multi-Grammy Award-winning mastering engineer Giovanni Versari (known for his work with Muse and Afterhours), who mastered the single and the new album.
