 Birmingham duo Beorma released a few days ago their new single, 'HER'. This one is the second single that isn't included in their 2020's project, Virtual Emotionality. 'HER' drives the duo to a more pure R&B direction, which opposes to their latest single, the EDM/house 'Tears'. 'HER' starts with classic R&B percussion and with Fern's vocals, which balances between Soul and Contemporary or urban R&B. Over minute two, the song gets a vibrant and Prince-inspired guitar solo that lifts ithe track and emphasizes the vocals and R&B instrumentation. This is even more stressed with the well-arranged production.  Concerning the lyrics and message of the song, it's about a painful break-up that ends up with an honest declaration of love to her ( I love her / Everytime you call me I hope it's her), making the track a possible Pride anthem which could have been released on June the 28th.

 Following their single Woman, Beorma released yesterday Drown, the sixth track from their EP Virtual Emotionality and which   stays on the darkness that the duo explored in the project.  Tom's vocals gather fragility and vulnerability, mixed with sadness. There's also some anxiety in them, like if he was searching hard for an exit to his problems and that ends up in the contradictory series of thoughts that make the chorus ( 'Hold me up / Bring me down/ Help me drown') . That angst is the same that drives Tom to try to find the solution in drugs, and it's also caused by what other people say ( 'It's easy looking in from the outside'// 'I worry about what people say'), the social fear, common in the youth,nowadays. The song creates an atmosphere itself and the autotune digs deeper on the feeling of sinking, drawing it almost phisically. Beorma keeps on illustrating the problems of the youth, focusing now on mental health. 

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.
