The talent that is Annabel Allum has taken us by storm early this year and later on, a live performance well strengthened our support for the foreseeable future. Good news is, she’s back with a new track!
“Rascal” is the follow up to the January release “Beat The Birds” and sees Allum confessing about oh-so-relatable life issues. It’s a song based on self-doubt and acknowledging bad habits by willing to work on them.
“It pinpoints a phase in time when it felt like no matter what I was doing, it wouldn’t be right; trying to look after myself, the people close to me, the people around me, and never finding a balance in any of it. I would either give too much or nothing at all. I still do that. It’s quite a sad song. Self-scrutiny, really. I guess I’m just still learning that it’s okay to not be able to please everything all the time,” says Allum.
Ethereal vocals accompanied by melancholic riffs and steady rhythm, “Rascal” is one that rings true to anyone who has ever gone through a period of not trusting their capabilities. It’s a universal track…because we’ve pretty much all been there.
