Faye Webster’s music is mostly described as indie/alternative which happens to be an exceedingly popular genre. Faye Webster is a popular artist, especially on TikTok. Faye also has romance in some of her songs and has similarities to other artists like Laufey, who happens to be the favorite artist of Gonzalez.
“Right Side of My Neck” by Webster first became popular on TikTok and people were introduced through her music by this song. It began a TikTok trend where friends and couples post each other walking and glancing back at each other repeatedly to symbolize the love between them.
“As she played her songs, the crowd cheered and sang along. People of all ages had their phone lights out and recording. The song was described as “her and her vulnerable lyrics explore themes of longing requited affection and beautiful music to ache to’. Said by Natalia Mendez and Sara Fisher, reporters for “The Current.”
As the guitar rang, the crowd knew it was Kingston and began cheering. Faye Webster directed the mic towards the crowd to give them a chance in singing the popular lyrics “that’s what he called me’ after she sang, “he said baby.”
“The many die-hard fans lived for each moment and opportunity to sing along,’’ Melendez and Fisher reported.
