We previously featured SHANNON DARCY for her powerful and evocative debut single, Snakes and Ladders, so when we heard that the star was back with FREAK SHOW, we simply couldn’t wait to listen and share our experience.
Drawing us in with an intricately designed vocal, SHANNON DARCY opens FREAK SHOW with a narrative as she sings, “He was a nobody, the shadow of a somebody, he lacked attention, rejected perfection, his words of deception toyed with misdirection…”
The opus expands with a luscious strings arrangement, complimenting the pulsating beat that fans of Billie Eilish will certainly be able to connect with.
FREAK SHOW demonstrates what a brilliant storyteller and lyricist SHANNON DARCY truly is. The song would fit perfectly into the iconic American Horror Story season of the same name, and needless to say, we are fully obsessed.
Speaking on the release, SHANNON DARCY tells us, “I would describe FREAK SHOW as dark and twisted; following the story of two fictional characters who feel as if they only have each other against the rest of the world.”
The rising artist continues, “I have always preferred the villains in books and movies because they always have a story to tell, which makes them so much more interesting and exciting. I wanted to write a song highlighting the toxicity and chaos that such a relationship could bring, exploring the delusions and the raw passion of two partners in crime.”
We absolutely love the moody and ethereal nature of the soundscape, and the immersive sonic tapestry that SHANNON DARCY delivers with her composition. Naturally, we have added FREAK SHOW to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we anticipate future releases from the star!
