Angelica Mode - Your Love Is All The Rage
Angelica Mode is the new project of songwriter Brian Hughes, formed from the ashes of previous band, Screamin’ Whisper in early 2020. Hughes takes this opportunity to take his writing in a new direction and produce work unlike that of his previous ventures.
Having spent 6 years honing his craft both in the studio and live, including opening for The Amazons along the way. Brian has already found support from Amazing Radio’s Jim Gellatly for Angelica Mode and has been featured on BBC Radio Scotland for his songwriting.
Angelica Mode are excited to announce today, Friday 31 July, the release of their debut single Your Love Is All The Rage.
When asked about the track Brian said:
This song marks a change in style for me; I used a drum machine and layered real instruments over the top. I wanted it to have a really solid low end and driving rhythm, while keeping the character and unpredictability of real instruments being played Loud! I’ve recently found a love for analogue synthesizers, because they supply the deep low end and rhythmic elements I want, but need to be tuned like a traditional instrument, so maintain the imperfect human feel.
Your Love Is All The Rage has a very laidback chilled vibe to it, it has a great melody, created with the layer of instrumentation but held together by an engaging drum beat.
The track is delivered by a strong vocal and lyrically is very clever with the protagonist singing about an ex and the one that got away, I love the opening verse which describes this when he sings “fit to burst, my heart is beating faster, baby can’t you see that you’re the worst?, the girl did me so dirty, cheating on the test to gain my trust, she’s really got me sussed, to make the grade, I can see it in your eyes that you will never do the things it takes, it’s written on your face you’ll never change, Baby can’t you see that I am not afraid”.
And reiterated in the chorus where the words are: “It’s not the same, baby when she calls my name, I could be anywhere, doing anything, and your face, has been going through my head all day, making me forget why I came here in the first place, Baby, can’t you see that your love is all the rage”.
Your Love Is All The Rage is a short blast of indie pop and is a great introduction to Angelica Mode as it showcases the ability to write a great catchy melody paired with clever lyrics.
This combination gives the track a real freshness and a desire to find out more about Angelica Mode and what I should be keeping an eye out for in the future !!
