On the eve of the
release of her sophomore album Humid
Nights on August 26th, Wellington musician Eva Prowse reveals
her lead single The
Wannabe.
The Wannabe is
a catchy electro-pop track conjuring the likes of Laurie Anderson, Kate Bush,
Talking Heads, and HAIM with 80's synth breaks, syncopated vocals and layered harmonies.
A lamentation of sorts, The
Wannabe is about being the uncool kid,
enveloped in an upbeat homage to the Spice
Girls on the 20th anniversary of the release of their first
single Wannabe.
Humid Nights is a MIDI-pop album inspired by the awkwardness of life and music software,
growing up in the 80s, 90s and today, drunken fights in hot countries, small
towns and big cities, bad decisions and instant regret.
Says Prowse, “the music of my childhood was the main inspiration – I just
wanted to make some catchy pop tunes, but then got slightly obsessed with MIDI
and bizarre, often cheesy, and definitely uncool, synth sounds…”
The Wannabe is available for free download from Bandcamp. Pre-sales for Humid Nights are also now available from Bandcamp. Pre-order Humid Nights and
receive instant downloads of singles The Wannabe and No Man (a Game of Thrones kick-ass ladies inspired 80's synth
ballad).
