Brighton artist Girl Apocrypha makes her solo debut with the single ‘Dealer’. Previously the lead songwriter of Brighton band Faeser, Emia steps into the spotlight on her own, where grunge, rock, and pop collide.
‘Dealer’ is a gritty alt-rock track packed with confessional lyrics, where self-critique doesn’t hold back, driven by heavy guitars and raw vocals.
“’Dealer’ describes the out-of-body experience you have when you’re suddenly able to see all your reckless, destructive behaviours from an outsider’s perspective, leaving you entirely disillusioned. It’s really a diss track about myself. It was written at a very low point, when I felt that everyone I cared about was getting sick of me, and I was like ‘You know what? I’m sick of myself.’ Sometimes you can find yourself at a crossroads where you have to choose between getting better or sinking deeper down, and I like to think of ‘Dealer’ as that final patch of darkness right before you find the will to swim to the surface.”
