Australian, Nashville-based pop/rock artist Felicity releases You Take Me To Dinner But You’ll Never Feed My Soul, a barnburner of a debut out on East Music Row Records. Along with the EP, Felicity shares the music video for her new single “Lovebomb,” a slithering, sexy track featuring her growling vocals and a driving, four-on-the-floor beat. The song is an ode to fuckbois who overpromise, and the video finds Felicity donning a wedding gown and unraveling in real time.
Felicity on the new single: “We really wanted to capture the feeling of the emotional turbulence that comes with being in the throes of a classic lovebombing situation – a song that violently builds to a fever pitch with a(n almost) one word chorus you can scream. (free therapy???)” She continues, “For the ‘Lovebomb’ video we really wanted to capture the feeling of being lovebombed at the highest level and, well…nothing screams being love bombed like being left at the altar, am I right? So we took that concept and went one step further – what would the aftermath of that feeling look like? We decided it would probably be spiraling in a bathtub with a cocktail, still in the wedding dress of course.”
Raised on the direct and provocative music of artists like Alanis Morissette, Regina Spektor and Fiona Apple, Felicity’s songwriting feels more like an essential exorcism than a personal choice. Her new EP encompasses the full spectrum of heartache, from the tense and painful confessional “I Prefer You In My Head” to the fed-up and soul-soaked “There’s Been A Lot Going On.”
Born in Perth, Australia, Felicity wrote her first song at age 15 and recorded it with studio time her mother won at a local auction, launching her straight into the fraught web of the music world. After several years of stops and starts, releasing a group of singles and running into a few shady characters along the way, she realized she needed to start over and really find her voice. So she made her way to Nashville, where she met producer Austin Luther and singer/songwriter Johnny Gates, who quickly signed her to their new label. Now on the other side, You Take Me To Dinner But You’ll Never Feed My Soul finds Felicity fearlessly taking on the industry and the men who have wronged her with equal fervor.
