Existing listeners of Cardiff independent singer-songwriter Rosie Reed, also known as Local Rainbow, will have grown fondly familiar with her unique brand of sugary bubblegum punk-pop, stories of regrettably falling for boys in bands and the intense stresses of growing up. Her new single sees the artist unexpectedly leave behind her brightly coloured world, the result being the brilliantly brooding ‘Forget About Me’.
Managing to sound like a cross between Soccer Mommy and Bat For Lashes, the track is centred around the artist’s pleas to an ex-lover who’s still obsessed with her to the detriment of his new relationship, like a witchy ritual to discard his affections, the whole vexful tale being told with ethereal guitars, keyboard and a massive frenzied, spellbinding breakdown with some stunningly strong vocals wound in.
‘Forget About Me’ was released on 28th April 2024 and is available on all of the streaming platforms. You can see the song’s official music video below:
