PRIESTESS - 'Holy Flesh'
Hailing from London, PRIESTESS bewitches us with her latest single ‘Holy Flesh’. A perfect piece of delicate but cinematic alt-pop, giving us a preview of her debut EP - which is due out later this year.
‘Holy Flesh’ draws us in from the outset, with haunting piano melodies and the artist’s rich alluring vocal. The atmosphere builds with woozy electronics and finally explodes with an epic instrumental to striking effect, reminiscent of something akin to Nine Inch Nails.
Kate said about the single “’Holy Flesh’ is about the sanctity within the feminine and the rage felt when violence in words and actions are inflicted against a person, when at the core they are a sacred being. It was written at a time when I felt ‘weak’ and undermined for showing emotion. For centuries, women have been made to feel like this and I wanted to write a song about that silent anger, which can often be left without anywhere to be released or placed within society. For the video concept. I wanted to create something similar to a Gothic Folk Horror short, using witchcraft and murder as the main themes.
An evocative music video lands the same day, co-directed by fellow artist and friend Ana Lemos in the vast isolated British coastal setting of Fairlight Glen.
