Another success from Widows Gold, “Nothing Can Break Me” is an empowering anthem from the California-based rockers. Madeline Star’s title-touting refrain emits a sturdy perseverance, even amidst “a tidal wave coming for me,” in the contemplative verses.
“Looking for something,” Star escalates in the rousing bridge, emphasizing a desire to live in the moment. A sharp-cutting rhythmic underlying shows shades of post-punk, while an excitable bridge approaching the three-minute mark injects a fun alt-rock nostalgia. “Nothing Can Break Me” is amongst a string of success for Widows Gold, who have impressed in the past with tracks like “I Can’t Help You” and “My Time to Talk.”
