‘Common Denominator’ – Geneviève Racette
Geneviève Racette presents with ‘Common Denominator’, a calm, haunting folk-pop song that stands out for its clear observations. The lyrics depict someone who repeatedly plays the victim and blames others — first ex-partners, then friends, and finally the narrator.

The composition thrives on…
