SOAK shares enchanting new track "Valentine Shmalentine"
SOAK has shared new single "Valentine Shmalentine", a dystopian, yet tender ode to the holiday, and the third offering lifted from sophomore album Grim Town.
The tender new trakc lands after last month's "Knock Me Off My Feet" and last year's "Everybody Loves You", and is built around "the result of both giving into hallmark and being a dramatic bitch."
Grim Town is SOAK's second album after her 2015 Mercury Prize-nominated debut Before We Forgot How To Dream.
Bridie Monds-Watson, aka SOAK, explains the new record is "a dystopia that I’ve created in my brain: me on the inside, processed into a pretend location. The way I could wrap my head around a lot of what I was going through was to make it feel like something quite physical and real. Once I had the idea of the album being an actual location, exploring the dynamics of this town and what it would look or sound like felt like the right way to give my mental state a personality."
