Ambitiously finishing the year strong with a strong creative drive, London-based singer songwriter Ripslime has spent the months giving fans all they could possibly ask for from an independent artist. Garnering worldwide acclaim on the heels of the recent success of, Paradise and Shamanic Faith, two commercially standout releases from early this year, she hopes to complete the hat trick with the debut of her newest track Dare.
The piece begins as a smooth bassline resonates through our speakers, and immediately we feel the world of this music being built around us in real time. As a flowing guitar line and percussive accompaniment slowly begin to join in, the music takes shape early and the rhythmic sensibilities of the track demand our full attention. The artist’s vocals appear shortly after, and the narrative begins with the defining opening line “You like the simple girls and I ask you why. I’ll come home to you and I’ll start to fight. You’ll tell me you love me, but do you really? It’s easy to walk away without a goodbye.” A raw and sentimental delivery with a connective melody defines the track and we feel the artist’s whole self within the music.
A catchy earworm with a nuanced definition all of its own, the rhythmic sensibilities of the single finds a way to stay with the listener long after the music has left their earphones. Having accomplished so much with this latest release, fans can only wait with anticipation to see what could possibly be coming from this artist’s mind and studio next.
