Song: Slow Motion
“The indie darling of BBC Introducing in Essex & Cambridgeshire”
“The real joy is in the choruses though, which sweep in and bludgeon you… but it’s okay, it’s a sweet bludgeoning, so you happily let them do it again and again.”

Song: More Days, More Nights
“Her songs are like the Trojan horse that fools you into thinking you know where it’s going before busting open and gutting you with some killer lines. There’s value in repeated listens too, with subtle changes to the arrangement evolving throughout and some lines that sneak by you at first before revealing their true nature.”

Song: What Do I
“What Do I has an understated, laid-back and loose swagger that calls to mind a number of mid-90s UK bands, from the likes of Elastica, Sleeper, and Lush through to The Bends-era Radiohead. Starting out quite soft and seductive and gradually unfurling into a wall of noise, there are some interesting choices in the melody that burrow in and keep you hooked”
