“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)
With stunning performances to packed venues at The Great Escape (Brighton), Beat-Herder (Sawley, Lancs), Humber Street Sesh (Hull) & recent gigs with Get Down Services, Bureau De Change, Wench! & others, Hull’s much-loved spoken word artist Jodie Langford continues to electrify stages across the UK with her unique blend of electro party punk. Following on from her previous single I See Only Red, Jodie now releases the track S.T.B.Y. & announces the release of her debut album Softly Spoken out Oct 24th on Warren Records.
With production duties supplied by Jodie’s musical sidekick & Hull’s ‘King of Electro” Endoflevelbaddie, the track S.T.B.Y. with its dark atmospheric beats & futuristic electro-industrial hooks is lyrically inspired by the Manchester bard John Cooper Clarke’s poem ‘Twat’ – a tongue in cheek ode to all that annoys & frustrates… Jodie explains: “I’m a big fan of John Cooper Clarke & I think his poem TWAT is ace & S.T.B.Y (sucks to be you) is inspired by that. I don’t really have any enemies or anybody that I hate, so this track isn’t about anyone in particular – but I just found it fun to play around with metaphors & similes. It’s also a great release for me to just yell for a bit & pretend that I’m fuming. Otherwise, bolognaise stained containers also really get on my nerves, so I wanted to find some way to fit that into a song”.
