If you are looking for a sassy, breezy, non mercurial song to brighten your January afternoon, take a SOAK. SOAK, the 22 year old multi talented musician from Northern Ireland will be releasing her first new music in 3 years. The first I heard of her was yesterday on the indie/alt wonderfully eclectic radio station WTSQ. The first chords instantly grab you with their infectious pop and lighthearted sizzle. Intitially, it reminded me of the opening of the indie band, Ivy, whose music was underrated for it's alternative snshiney vibes. SOAK, the alias of Bridie Monds - Watson sports a tight, cropped pixie, a flowery like neck tattoo and no prisoners stare. She ushers in a fresh nuanced anthem like song for 2019. "You can again, again, knock me off my feet/But I won't stop now you can take a seat"
The video shows her as an amateur demolition derby on a small race course. THe mini vehicles rush around the track. There's a smack and a crash. Her car is pushed to the side. Plumes of pink smoke emerge She waits for the emergency crew while she sings "Maybe it's all in my brain/ People don't look at me the same/ I feel weird something's changed"
She gets back in the race in the next scene. Racing hard to capture the winning spot. The last scene follows her initial journey in her red race driver suit and sees her high atop a hill. "She won't be beat".
The scissoring guitar mixed with light hearted timber like percussion give SOAK's latest track instant ear worm status
