Cheekface - "Listen to your Heart.” "No." from the 2021 album Emphatically No. on New Professor Music.

L.A.-based trio Cheekface bring their signature sense of humor to their sophomore release Emphatically No., out now via New Professor. 

Today's Song of the Day challenges the toxic positivity of self-help. "This is obviously a song about the negative messages your brain sends to you when you are suffering with a mental illness," guitarist/vocalist Greg Katz toldFlood Magazine. His songwriting partner/bassist/vocalist Amanda Tannen added, "I remember while writing this one I was getting more comfortable with saying 'no' in general. But also feeling judged by so-called 'self-help' fads. You can say 'no' to anything supposedly good for you, or bad, reminding myself that only I can make that decision for myself."
