PHOEBE ∆X∆ - 'Bed'
East London’s PHOEBE ∆X∆ takes bedroom pop quite literally on exciting new single ‘Bed’.
‘Bed’ is a euphoric sad song, a “dancing with tears in your eyes” pop treat. A classic sonic paradox that keeps your body engaged in captivating beats and magnetic rhythms while Phoebe’s striking lyricism leaves your heart leaking. “’Bed’ is something I wrote about a love triangle essentially,” Phoebe explains. “It’s exploring the manipulation and toxicity in a relationship - you’re both testing each other and pushing each other over the edge every time. The rush, the jealousy and the passion - these things all eventually doom everything.”
Following previous singles ‘Hurt A Little Less’, ‘Things’ and ‘Wisdom Teeth (Pressure)’, ‘Bed’ sees Phoebe once again narrating the bittersweet experiences of growing up. She adds: “A bed is a place of renewal and replenishment - it’s home and your place of rest. But it’s also love and lust. Conversely, it’s the place where you don’t sleep, you grieve, isolate, escape and ruminate. Cry. You pretty much live in your bed when you’re a teenager, making it a breeding ground for overthinking - you are essentially living inside your head.”
