“It’s taken every part of me not to be petty,” moans Estella Dawn. On her aptly-titled “Petty,” the pop newcomer witnesses a friendship light on fire and crumble into ash. The all-consuming flames swallow memories whole, and Dawn is only able to watch and observe. While she harbors deep sorrow, and perhaps a little resentment, she buries the urge to divulge deep secrets in retaliation.
