FM PREMIERE
Spoken-word protest shaped through hybrid pop, rap, and narrative delivery. Built from a 2021 poem written in Hyderabad and expanded years later in London, Sharon Katta’s Authority carries forward unresolved tension around civic dignity and systemic imbalance.
A central line anchors the track’s thesis and drives its delivery. Sharon Katta states:
Power only exists because people allow it to.
The structure moves deliberately: pop-led entry, rap transitions, and spoken-word passages stitched into a continuous narrative arc.
A recurring “respect” motif—captured from multiple positions in the room—builds a crowd-like pressure, amplifying urgency without overloading the mix.
Catalogue stays aligned. Story-first writing, performance-led, no excess. Authority lands direct, built for impact over scale.
