DISCOVER BEORMA and THEIR NEW SINGLE 'WOMAN'.

Frequently presented as an indie Pop/ R&B duo from Birmingham, Beorma consists of Tom and Ferns, who connected musically during lockdown and started to make music together. The result is the EP Virtual Emotionality, in which they touch common problems of the youth of today, from mental health to the internet and the complexity of Modern Day relationships.

Their latest single,Woman, which is out today to coincide with International Women's Day, addresses feminism. Tom's spoken word part  reflects on how women's use of their body in social media is seen in our society, pointing out that men 'only seem to enjoy (...) if the woman is not consenting' and the consequent incongruity and double-standard between men and women.  Fern's delicious and soothing vocals come as an answer to that hipocrisy ,claiming respect towards controlling men, who think that women choosing independence is going to weaken their position in a relationship.

Virtual Emotionality  brings to light that both Tom's and Fern's voices melt in a really warm and calm way. The sadness that the topics hide is masked by synths and happy beats, capturing teen spirit and that mixture of laughter and tears of adolescence.

 Despite suffering postponements due to COVID-19, the Coventry band seems unstoppable. After getting played for the first time on BBC Radio 1's Introducing Selection , having played for BBC Radio 1 BIG WEEKEND and celebrating the success of ' Pulling away', the band is ready for their new single, 'Numbers Game'. Numbers Game is a statement against music industry's falsehoods and hipocrisy. Everything ends up in a 'numbers game'. The lyrics are full of clear honesty and describe the music game's traps ( 'Surrounded by numbers just to prove your worth' ). Solid, strong energetic and speedy guitars get their typical alt-rock spirit and help to reinforce the message.  Its severity and strength make the track a true assertion , powerful as a battle cry. 'Numbers Game' is a brilliant continuation to 'Pulling Away', but this time in a more confidently way .  defined by the lyrics and Rob Latimer's vocals, which show they are unaf

Blossoms: In their cool era.

Image
  La banda de Stockport lanzó su quinto álbum de estudio, Gary, hace casi dos semanas . Con su estética naranja y vestimenta oscura, Blossoms dibujaba su dirección estética para este disco. A los singles What Can I Say After I’m Sorry y Perfect M e se une I Like Your look .   Si algo resulta difícil para una banda en su quinto disco es sorprender. Su cuarto álbum, Ribbon around The bomb , les situaba en una atmósfera pop setentera, con alguna de las mejores canciones de boda, pero que también mostraba unas letras reflexivas y existenciales. Sin embargo, I like your look es sorprendente porque Blossoms , más acostumbrados a escribir desde el punto de vista del narrador (the writer ), se vuelven el centro de atención tocando un tema de los más pop de los últimos años: Ser cool , estiloso y que los demás te envidien por eso. Debemos decir que le queda realmente bien este derroche de swag , sobre todo cuando desemboca en una canción tan adictiva y pegadiza.
