Track Of The Day :: Evalyn - Rather Be Dead

Words: Sam Geary

Los Angeles singer/songwriter Evalyn released this latest single 'Rather Be Dead' last week, and full of slinky, expressive R&B electronics and sultry, yet vulnerable, vocals, it explores lyrically the agonies of heartbreak.

From her forthcoming debut five-track EP 'Sandcastle', out on October 27, she says of the song:

"There's this unreal studio on the westside (of LA) called The Lair with a really soulful piano. I had gone through a recent heartbreak and I ended up hanging there with my band and yelling at the keys til 4am. I wrote 'Rather Be Dead' about that tiny shred of dignity and pride that you hold onto that lets you walk away from bad love."
