Germany-based songwriter and artist Ri Wesby captures a perfect balance between artistic integrity and mainstream appeal, with the evocative depth and intriguing design of Terrible Liar.
From uniquely alluring beginnings, it’s Ri’s voice and lyrical grit that initially draw you in. Slowly we build, the intensity and passion rising well, before we fall into an indie rock groove and anthemic, catchy hook, as Wesby rounds off what is genuinely an interesting take on contemporary alternative pop.
Structurally impactful, from sweeping and warped soundscape fragments towards the brighter uplift of the chorus, Terrible Liar is a scornful and addictively satisfying indie gem of a track, from an artist whom carefully walks that line between the familiar and the unknown.
This is an easy folk-pop treasure to let play on repeat as the summer months stroll into view. A song with meaning, vulnerability, confidence and creativity, all boldly and beautifully intertwined.
