Setting the tone with an intricate electric guitar performance and ethereal vocal add libs, SHANNON DARCY invites us to play a game of Snakes and Ladders with an atmospheric sound and hypnotizing aura.
The opus expands into a luscious alternative rock with philosophical and metaphorical prose, as the rising artist from Hullbridge in the United Kingdom delivers a charismatic performance with bold guitar choruses and a passionate delivery.
We deeply appreciate the poetic prowess that the star shares with her debut, as she takes us on a journey through her mind and spirit. Speaking on the intention of the release, SHANNON DARCY confesses, “Snakes and Ladders aims to demonstrate my love for gritty rock sounds and captivating lyrical dynamics.”
She continues, “My lyrics intend to convey raw attitude and meaning, encouraging listeners to feel a sense of empowerment and belonging. I wrote this song when I was feeling fed up with the way some people lie and cheat their way through life without a thought for anyone else. I felt frustrated by those whose toxic and manipulative energy strangulates its way into the lives of others.”
Elaborating on her wider artistry, SHANNON DARCY says, “I’m a singer and songwriter from Essex, who aims to bring a new and authentic vibe to the alternative rock and punk scene. I guess I would describe myself as a ‘nerdy wannabe rock star’ who has been involved with music and singing ever since I was really young.”
We learn that SHANNON DARCY struggled with anxiety in her early years, but music has helped her heal. The cathartic nature of her creations is tangible for both artist and listener. We love the authenticity that SHANNON DARCY exudes, and the nature of the track has us wanting more, so we have added Snakes and Ladders to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we anticipate future releases from the visionary artist!
