Fascinating original songwriting meets the timeless appeal of acoustic indie pop with gentle, distinct vocals – Norway’s Drea delivers an increasingly brilliant single, for Want Me Dead.
Building up beautifully as it gathers momentum, dropping in for an infectious hook that’s fully loaded and wholly contrasts the intimacy of the verses, Want Me Dead is both familiar and unorthodox in its blending of the standard pop-rock set-up and this fearlessly gritty conceptual journey.
All the while, contrast masterfully engages the listener from one moment to the next, and Drea’s unmistakable and alluring vocals prove equally capable of juxtaposing the changing stages and emotions of the song.
An earworm for sure, with lyrics that feel genuinely fresh. Want me Dead is a home-made indie anthem with plenty to love about it. Hopefully there’s more music on the way from Drea.
