Conceived at the beginning of the COVID pandemic in 2020 (with too much time to think and reflect). I started writing 'It's A Trap' as a commentary on the lies we as human beings are fed through the romanticism of fairy tales and the expectations that are forced, particularly on young women as to the treatment they are expected to endure even when faced with the horrific truth behind domestic violence and intimate partner abuse. I drew a lot of inspiration from the fable 'Bluebeard' as it speaks volumes to me personally about how people will turn a blind eye to abuse, even when it has been exposed and can no longer be covered up or hidden and that there is a strong push from society to deny the facts in order to maintain the fantasy that is kept alive with a veneer of convenient lies.
This song is an anthem for survivors and the strength it takes to tell their stories. The truth is there for everyone to see , if you only have the courage to look at it.

It's A Trap - Raising Ravens

Evil On Call', Due out on July 2, is the 4th single from the upcoming Raising Ravens Album, due for release in 2022. Written as an observation of the dark side of social media in which there breeds the unstoppable and impulsive nature of online bullying, harassment, cyberstalking and slander at the convenient press of a button. A reflection on the abuse of power that is so easily accessible while being fueled by invisible and seemingly omnipotent corporate entities. A device driven by money and marketed as a tool that is allegedly designed to bring people together but ends in driving people apart.
