Ailbhe Reddy - Fingertips
Friday 2nd June, 2017
They say: "Fingertips is a song about female sexuality from a strong and confident perspective. Which I think is rare in music and something I wanted to explore.
I'm really strongly influenced by Fiona Apple and Lianne La Havas, which hopefully comes across."
We say: "Pop songs with jazz chords - they're ace. It's a cool tradition that includes The Cardigans, Everything But The Girl and Aztec Camera.
Best enjoyed in a black polo neck while resting your neatso cocktail on a kidney-shaped lounge table. Ailbhe's take on this hybrid genre is assured and emotionally acute."
'Fingertips' is from Ailbhe Reddy's latest EP, 'Attach To Memory', available to buy now.
