This is a great song but I'd be interested to know its recording history. The "Maniac/Beat It " electric guitar solo sounds more 1985 than 1995. Did she have difficulty getting her music recorded? She's a very underappreciated songwriter.

@pnyc1969 Thank you very much as Essra is a VERY talented musician, as you know. Essra has consistently put out her own music for years, by hook or crook, no matter what. I believe she talks about the struggles with labels on her 2nd CNBC interview here on YT.

[DangerousBastard]

This lady is just a freakin legend. Thank god for youtube or I wouldnt have known about her.

Thanks fecinny!

Stay tuned as more GREAT Essra music coming soon.
