LeFrike delivers a stunning, bold debut track, ‘Forsake All Money’!
Described as a ‘dedication to female rage,’ ‘Forsake All Money’ is a contemporary, cinematic electro-pop composition built upon moody, folk arrangements; airy, spacious atmospherics; dub-infused rhythms; and warped vocals.
The Ireland-based, multi-dimensional, independent artist LeFrike captivates with her bold piece, ‘Forsake All Money,’ that pulses with brilliantly harnessed emotion and grace. The track opens mystically, like the start to a embodied performance.
There’s something intimate and deeply personal about the emotional tone and tension of the arrangements. Like witnessing the breaking through of a vindicated soul, namely, in this case, a woman who seeks to break the chains. Tuned, electronically charged vocals sing in whispers and fragments, and you can just about make out the title refrain, ‘Forsake All Money’.
Building with remarkable restraint and gravity, the track holds a persistent rhythmic groove and harmony throguhout its short runtime. Its this dynamic, contained production that creates a beautiful space for unbridled self-expression. That’s what we’re treated to in the track’s organic music video
It features a compelling, improvised dance performance by Laura Bardot, who expresses a myriad of emotions through her transformation from a subdued, traumatized bride in white to a raging, chaotic, sultry feminine prescence in all black.
We learn that the track was created, produced and mastered entirely by LeFrike from the confines of her bedroom studio. It’s this raw, intimate environment that results in the track’s unconventional, yet deeply immersive, structure. It speaks volumes to the artist’s creative vision and intent, and it comes as no surprise to us that she’s also an accomplished filmmaker. ‘Forsake All Money’ is slotted to be the end score to her upcoming indie thriller! Stay tuned.
We look forward to seeing her film and are thrilled to support an indie artist such as LeFrike in her bold, unapologetic expression of feminine truth!
