Returning with her second single, Kitchen Song, Brighton-based artist Opal Mag draws inspiration from Mazzy Star, The Sundays, The Breeders, and The Smashing Pumpkins as dreamy, atmospheric textures are weaved amongst raw, introspective lyrics, conjuring up a mystifying concoction. Speaking ahead of the release, the newcomer explained: “‘Kitchen Song’ is a love letter to quiet, solitary nights spent in the sanctuary of my bedroom. While the world celebrates outside -voices lifted in karaoke, lights flashing through windows - I find a quieter kind of joy. I dance barefoot across the floor, play with makeup like it’s paint on a canvas, try on outfits just for the thrill of transformation. I eat popcorn by the handful, strum my guitar in soft, wandering melodies, lose myself in the dreamy corners of Pinterest and flick through old magazines like they're portals to another time. Nostalgic films and TV shows hum in the background, and the radio plays songs that seem to understand exactly how I feel. It’s not loneliness -it’s magic. A night made just for me.” Take a listen below.
