The singer-songwriter based out of Manningtree, Essex, Blenko also known as Rebecca Simmonds is out with her debut EP album “Rebecca” and opening the album is the song “Unlucky Bag”. This short and sweet track features elements from alternative pop and indie rock, delivering a catchy and power-driven track. The song starts off with a catchy line on top of quick-paced guitar notes and hard-hitting drum beats. As the song starts, you’d instantly notice the high tempo of the song that creates a groove and the instrumentation and vocals keep up with the energy of the song without skipping a beat. When the vocals join in, the instrumentations take a step back for a moment, only to kick back in with full force in the chorus.

The curious synth elements that adorn the song give a kind of heaviness to the soundscape. When the verse comes into play, the instrumentation and the synth subside. The vocals are almost speech-like, putting the listener in a trance. It acts as a guiding force in the chaos. You can hear all kinds of sounds toward the end of the song as it ever so slightly rises to a crescendo and abruptly halts at the finish. The quirky and fun arrangement adds to the charm of her music while the lyrics display her wit and clever wordplay.
