SOAK returns with first new track in two years "Everybody Loves You"
Northern Ireland's SOAK is back with new track "Everybody Loves You", three years after her critically-acclaimed debut album Before We Forgot How To Dream.
At just 22, SOAK has had a whirlwind of a career, including being one of the youngest to receive a Mercury Prize nomination back in 2015 for her debut record.
In 2016 she released double single "I Can't Make You Love Me" and "Immigrant Song".
Bridie Monds-Watson, aka SOAK, has returned with new track "Everybody Loves You", complete with an accompanying animation illustrated by SOAK herself, and brought to life by animator Marisa Gesualdi.
On her new track, SOAK explains, ""Everybody Loves You" is a song about extreme denial. More specifically about my stubborn ability to convince myself I don’t want something that I do and blind my rational thought process - I suppose in this case, as a way of self-protection (and avoiding vulnerability). The lift at the end of the song ("Everybody wants you, And I do too") represents the almost comedic/foolish acceptance of my own feelings. A 360 turn of events in which I then so desperately want all that I had rejected and pushed away. A consistent theme of my younger self."
