A New York-based cinematic pop artist, Perenna King confronts the impact of the Roe v. Wade reversal in America with her new single, Alibi.

By Graeme Smith

Alibi opens in atmospheric style thanks to soulful vocalisations and a whistling backdrop. A bass groove drops and we can tell we’re in for something special. The emotion rides high during a stripped-back verse before things hit their full pop stride in the poetic chorus. There’s a Gothic darkness about it all that sticks with you.

A truly unique artist who isn’t afraid to make a statement with her music, I’m already becoming a big fan of Perenna King. I can’t wait to hear what she does next.

Alibi is out now and you can give it a listen below.
