The Writing's on the Wall

A 4 track retro soul single (12m 55s) — released June 6th 2025 on LRK Records

Like the songwriter's ex, the song's rhythm "don't make it easy". Inspired by rare groove, the laidback feel is punctuated by rhythmic twists that keep you on your toes. A jazzy stop-and-start intro grabs your attention. But when the disco drums come in, the beat isn't where you thought it was. Soul organ and horn stabs interrupt vocalist Nicole Battick, mirroring the song's antagonist who is making things difficult in this breakup song. A jazzy take on retro soul for Gilles Peterson fans.
