A Beautifully Strange Anthem for Tough Times

Oreaganomics is out here doing something different, and “Cost of Living Wild” is proof. It’s a track that refuses to be boxed in—part soul, part trap, part avant-garde experiment. It’s pretty, it’s weird, and somehow, it just works.

From the moment the beat kicks in, there’s an off-kilter energy to it, like life itself—unpredictable, chaotic, but undeniably captivating. The melodies drift between dreamlike and raw, while the lyrics tap into something deeply real: the struggle of making ends meet in a world that keeps getting more expensive. This isn’t just a song; it’s a reflection, a mood, a knowing nod to everyone out there trying to stay afloat.

And here’s the kicker—it was recorded entirely on phone apps. But don’t let that fool you into thinking it sounds amateur. Oreaganomics turns limitations into creativity, crafting a sound that’s as unpolished as it is intentional. There’s a kind of magic at play here, proving that great music isn’t about big studios or fancy production—it’s about saying something that matters.

The most striking thing? This might be a once-in-a-lifetime performance. The vocalist, now focused on parenthood, doesn’t sing often. That makes “Cost of Living Wild” even more special—an intimate, fleeting moment frozen in sound. It’s not trying to be mainstream, and that’s exactly why it sticks with you.
