Class new indie banger from Manchester’s Chew Magna – ‘Spat Out’
Not quite sure what it is about Mancunian-based artists but they always seem to hit the right notes. When it comes to music and artistic expression. In their new single, spat out, they openly talk about frustration both within themselves and of others. This a reference to the feeling you get when you feel that someone has got what they want. Yet it has left you high and dry. Hence the saying hung up and spat out to dry. Full credit to Chew Magna for this belter of a track
When you listen to the lyrics you can sense the frustration of the song. This is where their songwriting really does come to fruition and they show that there is more than just your average band. I don’t know what it is about Manchester-based artists that makes them amazing. But whatever it is is Chew Magna another product of Mancunian greatness.
GEORGE BARNETT releases dark euphoric banger – ‘Black Tank Top’!
There aren’t that many demos and singles in the charts today that can tap into the darker, moodier aspects of the human mental psyche. Yet George Barnett seems to have done just that. In his latest single, black tank top, he expresses the effects of a breakup in a relationship in the human psyche. In his voice, you feel frustration, anxiety, and anger. For an artist who hasn’t been in the music scene for a great amount of time, it sounds as though he has.
George recorded the song during the national lockdown which is when everyone was feeling the darker side of human mentality. As far as songs about the media aspects of human emotions and mental psyche go George has pretty much nailed it. Even the guitar riffs act as a musical metaphor for frustration.
The genius of the songwriting, as well as seen electro riffs of the guitar. Is that George is exploring the dark side of the mind and both during and after post-break-up? but without getting completely submerged George is a musical maestro in the making.
Indie-electro artist Little Tealeif releases brooding earworm – ‘Pedestal People’
No, you may not have heard of him, but you will soon. British-born singer-songwriter and electro-indie artist, Little Tealeif, leaves no stone unturned in his new single, pedestal people. Like many other artists whose inspiration is what they’ve lived, Tealeif definitely does just that. A recovering addict to leave wears his heart on his sleeve and uses his music to bear his soul he talks about the struggles of addiction. And having to move away in a bid to find himself and rebuild.
No, what makes this so interesting is that normally indie electronic sounds are normally upbeat, but when you listen to the lyrics they are almost a contradiction of the upbeat tunes of the song. It’s only when you really listen to the beats and the lyrics you realize how genius it really is.
A positive electro rock riffs and beats and the dark tones of the lyrics are a perfect contradiction to each other, they both balance the other out.
JESSICA WILDE is thinking of – ‘Kissing My Best Friend’ on a new deep pop single!
If there’s one thing they can certainly count on with London singer-songwriter, Jessica Wilde is sheer honesty and that she never holds back. In her new single, Kissing My Best Friend, she talks about deep intimate feelings for a friend, struggling with these inner feelings along with the fear of rejection. Something else that Wilde is absolutely clear on is the fear of ruining a relationship that currently stands. Straight from the go the tones and atmosphere of the song are dark, troubled, and deeply intimate.
When you listen to the lyrics it’s like something directly from a diary, where only the deepest, darkest, and most intimate thoughts are spoken. The lyrics just talked about feelings for a friend but with a fear of acting on them out of rejection and pain
As with any talented, us songwriter wild doesn’t hold back and bares her inner soul
