Liverpool-based label Klee Music have a real flair for discovering talented young female singer-songwriters. Esme Bridie’s semi-acoustic and vinyl-only first album ‘Today It Rains’ was one of the highlights of earlier this year, and Klee is now releasing through its website https://kleemusic.co.uk as a free download the debut single of another young Liverpudlian musician Sophie Bernice.
“Interesting times on the radio,” muses Bernice as an opening line on ‘Learn to Love Again’, which was written just after the American presidential election of 2016. Its accompanying video hammers home the point that we live in turbulent times, and combines Peter Finch’s infamous “I’m as mad as hell….” speech from the 1976 film 'Network' with news footage of a ranting Donald Trump, protestors and heavily armed security outside his Trump Tower and marching North Korean girl soldiers.
Bernice, however, remain a mistress of control, her crystal vocals having a bittersweet gentleness. “Come, walk with me, darling,” she sings in the chorus, wise enough to know already that if there is to be any real force of change it has to come from the individual and our own actions, however, small rather than those of self-serving politicians.
The arrangements are similarly quietly effective, combining the main instrument of the piano with subtle shades of electronica and synthesized strings. An impressive and thughtful debut single from an artist who even at this early stage has shown that she is someone to watch out for.
