friend [Single]

friend

this is the first single from delphi's upcoming EP she lives, which comes out next month. the final track of the EP, fire, explores themes of possessiveness, jealousy and betrayal. using an almost 90's r'n'b framework for their beat, delphi and her producer Harry manage to put their own spin on the laid-back, easy sound so typical of that genre for the first part of the song, before ending the track with a vocal climax.

bringing her sarky London sensibility to the lyrics and her training as a pop/soul singer to her vocals, delphi manages to sound angry, tender, threatening, sincere and pained all at once; showing her true colours and feelings in her screams at the end of the song. featuring backing vocals from FLYNN MARKS, the track is at first a soft duet that soon becomes a solo shout.

fire

the debut EP from delphi, she lives is an effort to keep her music alive during a pandemic, the ending of a degree and her own personal battles.

could we just sleep?

delphi is a SE London-based artist, originally from Camden. she attended The BRIT School for 4 years before studying popular music at Goldsmiths. 
 
working alongside harry, her producer, she creates tracks that are made in bedrooms; but are definitely more than bedroom pop. using samples of her voice to make synths, weird field-recordings to make beats and an anti-reverb mindset; the pair make a strange but effective couple. using her experience as an engineer, writer and vocal arranger alongside his varied experience as a producer and classical guitarist, they cover each other’s blind spots; finding ways to make the production of each track true to its original meaning.
 
writing from her own experiences, delphi presents tracks that are brutally honest and personal, but somehow still relatable. harry once described the music best during a very hungover recording session: ‘think morose stillness - sadentry’.
 
the pair release their first EP ‘she lives’ on the 11th of December 2020.
