WENS delves into analogue synth-pop to ditch an asshole on “Bleed”

Los Angeles-based WENS delivers the goods on bewitching new single “Bleed”.
At 18, WENS already has five years of songwriting under her belt. By the age of eight she had already learned how to harmonise, a skill that doubtless comes in handy in her creation of her dark, melodic pop. Analogue synths provide an atmospheric backdrop to the exquisite textures of her multilayered vocal, swelling dramatically into a pounding chorus.
“I wrote ‘Bleed’ because I was so scared of losing someone,” WENS says of the new track. “It took me writing this song to finally realise he was never really mine to lose in the first place. He's an asshole anyway so I’m better off."
“Bleed” is out now.
