Cherryade – Empress
Cherryade - Empress
Release Date: Out Now
Coincidentally following on from
Elle Exxe’s ‘Queen’ this week, London duo Cherryade have gone and trumped their
pop colleague by releasing ‘Empress’ – it’s like playing poker with an extended
regal deck of cards. This latest release from the attitude fuelled pair of
popsters sits nicely alongside the likes of Angie in terms of it’s in your face
style riding on top of some sparse but brutal beats and minimal
instrumentation. No, instead we get the repeated vocal of “I’m what they want,
want, yeah” like a school yard chant straight outta Brooklyn but with all the
balls of a Hip-Hop superstar. Cherryade are starting to shift through the gears
now moving away from their cheeky-pop roots to a more confident sound that is
full of ambition and intention. That said, they still take a few seconds to
have a pop at cold calling no-win-no-fee solicitors so they’ve retained a bit
of a sense of humour….which is nice. The ‘cultural appropriation’ of the
artwork is bang on topic too so that should get a few more hits on Twitter.
