Premiere: ACTRESE – ‘The Month’

London-based songwriter ACTRESE may be a newcomer to the music scene, but upon listening to her unique, ambient alt-pop sounds, you’d be forgiven for thinking she had years of experience under her belt.

Influenced by the likes of Lorde, Banks and Bastille, ACTRESE has now shared her debut single. ‘The Month’ oozes twinkling percussive melodies and tribal beats as delicate yet empowered vocals flow throughout. A sparkling slice of electro-pop filled with catchy, effervescent melodies and a haunting edge.

Of her inspiration for ‘The Month’, ACTRESE says: “The month is a relationship song I thought I’d never write… It is my perfect closure and a reminder of my freedom and who I am.”

Listen to ‘The Month’, for the first time, here:

And if, like me, ‘The Month’ leaves you anticipating the rest of the year, keep your ears peeled for the debut EP from ACTRESE.
