Riarëh Devillé sent me this track for review when I was lying on a hospital trolley, off my face on morphine waiting for an x-ray. It was the most welcome submission and, as I'm quite used to hospital stays, I of course had my headphones with me. I popped them on and when the x-ray technician came to find me, I was smiling and bopping my head to this fun tune. In what seems to be a slight ode to Wet Leg, Rocker with Soul is driven by a female voice describing her story to a fluctuating backing that contains so many elements in small doses, making it move throughout the whole track. I am a big fan of a good arrangement and this track ticks all the boxes! Little moments of Spanish guitar, stabs of strings, multiple vocal lines with different effects on them - entirely created by Devillé as a self-produced artist. With today's low statistics around women in the music industry, it's a privilege to be able to get a first listen to tracks that are part of this small percentage.
