Alemeda “Broken Record”: Why TDE’s Rising Star is the Voice of a Fed-Up Generation

Alemeda Just Dropped “Broken Record,” and It’s the Reality Check We All Needed

If you’ve been keeping an eye on Alemeda lately, you know she’s not really interested in playing it safe. Since signing with TDE, she’s been carving out this weird, wonderful space where garage punk meets pop in a way that feels totally effortless.

Her new single, “Broken Record,” just hit the airwaves, and honestly? It’s a mood. If you’ve ever felt like you were screaming into a void in a relationship—only to have that person finally “get it” once you’ve already got one foot out the door—this track is going to hit home.

The Vibe: Gritty, Loud, and A Little Bit Fed Up

Working with producers like Stint and Tyler Cole, Alemeda has leaned away from the polished pop sound and gone for something much more visceral. We’re talking distorted bass, fuzzy layers, and a vocal performance that feels like a conversation you’re having with yourself in the mirror at 2:00 AM.

It’s frantic in the best way possible. The production actually mimics the title; it feels circular and hypnotic, perfectly capturing that “here we go again” feeling of a dead-end argument.

Why “Broken Record” Hits Different

There’s a specific kind of frustration that comes with being taken for granted, and Alemeda nails it here. The lyrics aren’t trying to be overly poetic or flowery—they’re blunt.

When she sings about how people only realize what they’ve got once it’s “driving out the lot,” she’s speaking for everyone who’s tired of the “too little, too late” apologies. It’s a middle finger to the “boombox outside the window” clichés. She’s not asking for a grand gesture; she’s asking for consistency.

Catch Her on the Road

If the energy on this track is any indication, her current “But Where The Hell Should I Go” tour is going to be a riot. Between her TV debut on Kelly Clarkson and her habit of hand-picking local openers from Instagram, she’s proving to be one of the most authentic voices in the game right now.

The Verdict: Put “Broken Record” on your “main character energy” playlist. It’s loud, it’s honest, and it’s a reminder that your time is too valuable to spend repeating yourself.
