JOE’s Song Of The Day #683: SOAK ‘Everybody Loves You’

SOAK is back with an absolute gem.

This is the first official release from SOAK since 2015's critically-acclaimed debut album, 'Before We Forgot How To Dream'. Now seen as one of the most talented artists we have, it's sometimes easy to forget that she's still only 22. The Derry native has such a richly textured voice and this new release is the perfect showcase of that. 'Everybody Loves You' begins the next, clean chapter in the unique story that is SOAK's. She says "This 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." https://youtu.be/OxyD9fH1bQk Clip via SoakOfficial She is at work on the second album and if this is a taster of what lies ahead, we cannot wait for its launch.
