Jodie Langford – I See Only Red (single)

“Such a fantastic artist – I just love her voice” John Kennedy / Radio X

“One of the most exciting voices in the UK’s spoken-word punk scene” Green Banana

“She’s got mad potential” Laurie Vincent (Soft Play)

Following some stunning performances to packed venues at The Great Escape in Brighton & recent gigs with Get Down Services, Bureau De Change, Wench! & others, Hull’s much-loved spoken word artist Jodie Langford has become somewhat of a festival showstopper over the past year, electrifying stages across the UK with her unique blend of electro party punk. Luckily, Jodie’s still found time to drop another banger in the form of enraged new single I See Only Red & she’s hacked off with suffering from the profound condition known as sleep paralysis!

With production duties supplied by the unwavering ‘king of electro’ Endoflevelbaddie, I See Only Red tells a haunting tale of waking up to a lifeless body, unable to move, speak or scream, combined with the sensation that something horrible & otherworldly is lurking! As the room turns blood red & shadow-like figures lurk in crevices, the ability to remain calm is a struggle!

Jodie says of the release: “I See Only Red had been wallowing in a folder for a while, not sure of the direction we should go in with it. The song has a very personal aspect to it lyrically & had gone through a few different iterations before arriving at this final version which has the perfect level of energy & drama that we’ve been looking for. Endoflevelbaddie‘s production is leaning more into punk territory in sound/production mentality with a healthy dose of rave still! Tracks are quickly concocted with parts recorded quickly to try to keep that raw energy alive & not get bloated with layers & layers of sounds or being over-produced to death. This song shows our continued progression into that way of working, whilst still paying homage to my spoken word background & playful nature”.
