Video Premiere: Guttfull – ‘The Power’

Ahead of the launch of their debut album Tits And Nails next month, queercore sax punks Guttfull have shared another fantastically riotous new single.

Inspired by the Naomi Alderman novel of the same name, ‘The Power’ looks to a dystopian near future where women rise up and create a matriarchy, asserting their power over men by using an electrical force through their bodies (or, as songwriter Cassie Fox puts it, “zapping the bad men to death – pew pew!”). Oozing all the gutsy energy we’ve come to know and love, it’s another unapologetically angry, hugely catchy offering from the band.

Combining the politics of punk with a sparkling pop-fused colour, Guttfull have once again created a resolute feminist anthem, an uplifting call to get up, celebrate your womanhood, and dance the patriarchy away. As Guttfull reassure us, we all have the power in our hands.

Watch the vibrant, 70s-inspired video for ‘The Power’ here:

Guttfull’s debut album Tits and Nails is out 10th November on Loud Women records. Catch Guttfull live:

Video Premiere: MALMØ – ‘The Way’ (feat. Eivør)

Following captivating singles such as ‘You’ and ‘We Come From The Stars’, Danish five piece MALMØ have now teamed up with acclaimed Faroese artist Eivør (Game of Thrones, God of War, The Last Kingdom) for latest offering ‘The Way’, and we’re happy to host the first watch of the accompanying brand new video.

Flowing with a haunting ethereal splendour, ‘The Way’ is a sweeping, majestic soundscape that builds with tribal beats and the soaring power of Maria Malmoe’s rich vocals. With shades of the other-worldly aura of Bjork, cinematic sounds are accompanied by eerily captivating visuals, resulting in an exquisite, impassioned offering oozing its own unique resplendent grandeur and raw emotion. Of the track, Maria explains:

“The Way is about getting lost in the woods and finding your way through the wild. Ancient voices and tribal drums echo in the deep. You want to run and run without knowing where you͛re headed. There it is, my way – curvy and unknown but mine to follow. I leap off on the first step.”

Directed by videographer Michelle Berg and choreographed by Laura Feline Ebbesen, watch the brand new video for ‘The Way’ here:

‘The Way’ is taken from MALMØ’s recently released debut album We Come From The Stars.

Video Premiere: Lauren Ray – ‘Be A Man’

Following debut album We Will Need Courage in 2016, singer songwriter Lauren Ray has supported big names such as Rebecca Ferguson and Anastacia and has now returned with the announcement of her new EP Inside This Silence. 

Taken from the EP, new single ‘Be A Man’ flows with Ray’s silky smooth, soulful vocals and gentle, blues-infused melodies in a tongue-in-cheek take on the common phrase. A truly charming, musically rich slice of alt-pop, it showcases Ray’s beautifully honest songwriting perfectly.

Of the clever accompanying video and meaning behind the song, Ray explains:

“The song could just be enjoyed as a fun ‘flirty’ song which is part of its intention… but it’s written somewhat tongue in cheek because I’m using the term ‘Be A Man’ to say ‘you can be vulnerable and say how you feel because I feel it too’. Admitting how you feel to someone requires being brave and vulnerable but is always worth doing… I also think that personality traits and emotions that are labelled as either ‘female’ or ‘male’ can be somewhat ridiculous and limiting, and in some cases destructive, so I wanted to play with this a little bit too for the video.”

Watch the brand new video for ‘Be A Man’, for the first time, here:

Inside This Silence, the upcoming EP from Lauren Ray, is out 3rd August on SR Records. Pre-order here.
