Rock/Review Less - Hellya
Born in Naples on January 16, 2001, and raised in Arzano, Less experienced a nomadic but happy childhood, marked by continuous moving and the warm affection of her family. Being the daughter of two leather workers, Less learned from an early age the value of resilience and change. The turning point came at the age of 8: her family moved to Fano, in the Marche region, in search of a better life.
“Hellya” by Less arrives like a cathartic release, channeling creative burnout and emotional numbness into something fiercely alive. Built from a place of deep frustration and apathy, the track transforms those heavy feelings into a raw, rock-driven statement that signals a decisive turning point in the artist’s sound and identity.
From the opening bars, the energy feels urgent and unfiltered. Gritty guitars, pounding drums, and a driving rhythm push the song forward with relentless momentum, capturing the sensation of breaking through mental and creative stagnation. Rather than polishing away the rough edges, Less embraces them, letting distortion and intensity serve as emotional tools rather than mere stylistic choices.
Vocally, the performance carries both exhaustion and defiance, perfectly mirroring the song’s central tension: the struggle between feeling trapped and the need to reclaim personal freedom. The lyrics and delivery speak to anyone who has felt creatively or culturally boxed in, making the track resonate beyond its immediate context. It becomes less about one artist’s frustration and more about the universal urge to rediscover authenticity.
What makes “Hellya” stand out is its refusal to soften its message. The arrangement hits hard without feeling chaotic, maintaining a tight, purposeful structure that amplifies its emotional punch. The track feels like Less shedding expectations and rediscovering music as instinctive, honest expression.
In the end, “Hellya” is both an outburst and a rebirth — a declaration that creative identity thrives when restraint is abandoned. For listeners craving intensity, honesty, and a sense of artistic risk, this track hits with undeniable force.
