Daily noise that works faster than a stream of caffeine

23 July 2024

Artist: GEMMA ROGERS
Who: Alt pop poetess from London who had her
top-drawer debut LP No Place Like Home out in 2022.

New single: DEATH KNOCKED UP

Rogers: “I thought it was interesting to get under the skin of death as a being with a conscience, but who had to get on with the job like so many of us. We wanted to explore the idea that people are more than their jobs and that we need to consider there’s more to people than meets the eye. We liked the idea of death giving birth as well, so Death became a woman and why not?”

TUTV: The song’s protagonist is named Death. She seems to be a female grim reaper, who’s pregnant, you and you need to escape from if you want this short life live the longest you can.

Death Knocked Up is a jagged word-waterfall jam rolling over a repetitive beat and trippy synth dynamics. Rogers advices us to choose future, to choose life. A spot-on proposal in these turbulent rat-race times on its crushing way to Death‘s big party if we do not make the right choices right now.

Wake up people.
Choose Rogers.

“Life’s too short for being boring.
Would you wanna know the day you die?
Save the date for Death’s big party.
Choose your future.
Choose life.”
