The Endofme

Across the period of 2010-2017, these four women left home. Left their sisters, left their parents and the safety net of familiarity. Swapped them for breeze block student halls, red brick labyrinths and beaten-up trainers, no match for Manchester puddles. Did we know when we left home we would not be returning? No. Did you? I know we’re supposed to be adulting now but there’s still a home-shaped hole in all of our hearts.

What If I Cry About It

Cold Hearts is a protest song against the state of the world, caused by the cold-hearted leaders who are fueled by a lust for power and deprived from empathy. More political than any of my previous songs, but I needed to speak up through my art. I hope it makes you feel something. And I hope it can be part of a manifestation for a better world.
