Federale – The Worst Thing I Ever Did Was Ever Loving You (feat. Jenny Don’t)
Federale’s “The Worst Thing I Ever Did Was Ever Loving You,” featuring Jenny Don’t, is a hauntingly beautiful duet that combines romantic country music, Americana, and indie rock. The song begins with a beautiful, nostalgic sound that immediately brings the warm, timeless vibe of classic 1960s easy listening music, but it also has a current edge that keeps it fresh. The core of this song is Collin Hegna’s duet with Jenny Don’t. Hegna’s vocals are playful and ethreal, full of emotion and depth. His voice contrasts brilliantly with Jenny’s soft and dreamy performance, resulting in a dynamic interaction that provides more meaning to the song. Their voices combine to create the bittersweet sorrow and driven tension found in Nick Cave’s most moving compositions. The orchestration, with its beautiful and slightly dark harmonics, provides as a perfect setting for the story, which is about love’s regrets and the lasting pain of memories. “The Worst Thing I Ever Did Was Ever Loving You” is more than a song; it’s a “back to the future” experience. Federale has created a music that seems like a tribute to the past while being deeply rooted in the present! The difference between Hegna and Jenny’s personas is effectively communicated through their vocal interplay, making this tune a highlight in Federale’s career.
