Deborah Fitz - The Puppet
Deborah Fitz delivers a soul-baring powerhouse in The Puppet—a blues-soaked, emotionally-charged anthem that reaches into the shadows and pulls out something raw, real, and unforgettable. This isn’t just a song; it’s a cinematic confessional—aching, defiant, and lit by the flicker of vulnerability. Recorded at the effortlessly cool Zero Hour Studios in Coleraine, Northern Ireland, The Puppet is steeped in moody elegance. Deborah’s voice is the star—earthy, wounded, and unflinchingly honest. She doesn’t sing as much as live each lyric: “Feeling you like a puppet on a string / Giving all I got, but they don’t give a thing.” Every line lands like a truth too long held back. Producer Michael crafts a hauntingly sparse backdrop that elevates rather than competes. Gritty guitar riffs and a brooding bassline build an atmosphere that feels both timeless and immediate. There are no flashy tricks here—just space, soul, and that stunning vocal performance that ebbs and erupts with emotion. The track’s strength lies in its restraint. The pauses between lyrics speak as loudly as the words themselves, making it feel like a private moment you’ve been lucky enough to stumble upon. It’s intimate, intense, and heartbreakingly beautiful. Fitz’s lyricism is poetic and pointed, navigating themes of self-worth, manipulation, and the strength to rise above it all. The Puppet could easily score a pivotal moment in a film like Anora—a love story unraveling at the seams, where heartbreak meets resilience. This isn’t just a song you hear. It’s a song you feel deep in your chest. If The Puppet is any indication, Deborah Fitz isn’t just an artist to watch—she’s one to be moved by.
