You’re going to get extremely hooked to the new song ‘Ribcage’, as it’s literally the hottest alternative rock pop song you will have ever heard in 2022 by Ilona Mahieu based in Guilford, UK. Dropped on 31 October, It’s so unbelievably rich and packed with tunes. With a much-needed female-fronted rock band stance, the concept, energy, vibes, lyrics and vocals are exceptionally creative and fresh. Everything is self-funded in all the song’s production. In celebration of this awesome release, the band will put on a hometown release show with three other bands.
The flavor of this song is dark, dreamy and major emotional exposure. With dreamy guitar rhythms interchangeable with intense, emotionally charged guitar riffs, Ribcage is the kind of song that resembles a beautiful tragedy. The song is about introspection and harmful coping mechanisms. Mahieu said that she wrote the song after a breakup that left her with vicious anxiety. You can really feel the pain and frustration of her situation in the song and we can all relate to this state of being. The overall sound of the song is daunting, emotive, and served with hardcore rawness. The soundscape is a medium-paced alternative rock tune with bursts of rough guitar riffs and high pitch vocals. There are undertones of sexy and groovy vibes, especially from the guitars that are texturing the beat. the transitions between high and low pitched and rhythms are really good and very dynamic, you are not bored at any point in the song, you just want more. The song ends on a very slow, dreamy, and extra vulnerable note that we loved. The vocals are powerful, deep and so feminine. Head to Spotify and YouTube for a great music video too!
