Wyldest - 'Tin Foil Girl'
Wyldest, aka multi-instrumentalist and producer Zoe Mead, returns with her latest song ‘Tin Foil Girl’. The third track to be released from her upcoming album, Feed The Flowers Nightmares, due 9th September.
Written about letting go of anxieties and stimulating personal growth, Wyldest weaves a sense of optimism throughout ‘Tin Foil Girl’. From the upbeat drums that kick start the song to Wydlest’s airy, contented vocals, the track fizzes with positive energy.
Wyldest doesn't ignore her anxieties in pushing herself out of her comfort zone but rather uses them as fuel to drive her to new experiences. Expanding on this idea she says ‘Tin Foil Girl’ is about finding your own superpower to achieve a real state of flow. The chorus perfectly encapsulates this idea: “I wanna have a party with my body // I wanna make shapes but I can’t move”. By acknowledging her anxieties alongside her desires to go with the flow, Wyldest imbues a sense of optimism and power in herself, and her abilities.
In creating this judgement-free space, Wyldest aims to create what she calls ‘organic happiness’: “the kind of happiness that can only be achieved by doing something active rather than passive, activities that truly encourage growth.” Even within the relatively short time-frame of the song, she manages to instil a sense of liberated joy in her listener. Leaving them itching to shake off their constraints and try something new, finding their own organic happiness.
‘Tin Foil Girl’ is definitely set to be a crowd pleaser at one of Wyldest’s upcoming string of in-store shows at Rough Trade in September, tickets and dates can be found here.
