LIST PICK
YOSHIKA COLWELL THERE'S GOT TO BE A LOSER BABE
Free-spirited folk enthusiast Yoshika Colwell has announced her debut album via London-based tastemakers Blue Flowers. Bolstered by her open-hearted new single 'There's Got To Be A Loser Babe', On The Wing is set for release on the 25th of July and will also feature former List Pick 'Last Night'. Giving insight to the LP Colwell explains: "It is, at its core, an album about acceptance and release, and freedom from old binds. It was an extremely emotional and cathartic record to make. It was a challenge to put all of the things I was scared to say into these songs, to finally let them out of my head without shying away from the ugly or unpalatable emotions, but it felt like the only thing to do." Felt deeply on 'There's Got To Be A Loser Babe', the tasteful instrumentation gives weight to an overarching sense of relinquishing control. Both heavy and light at the same time, it's a truly accomplished piece of songwriting from a rapidly rising voice in the UK folk scene. -Holly Mullineaux
