TOP NEW SONGS: SOAK - KNOCK ME OFF MY FEET

Maybe it’s the weather, maybe it’s Irish week and no one told me.

Regardless, we’re here today to talk about “Knock Me Off My Feet,” the lead single from folk prodigy Bridie Monds-Watson’s, a.k.a. SOAK, upcoming sophomore effort Grim Town. The track is a perfect mid-tempo pop number about her love/hate relationship with her tiny hometown.

“You can be the best person to yourself, and the worst person to yourself,” Bridie about the song in a statement.

Whatever the subject matter, “Knock Me Off My Feet” is an infectious little ditty that will get your heart pumping, feet tapping, and eventually burrow its way deep into the recesses of your mind.

Accompanying the song is a beautiful and transfixing video directed by Jak Payne. Check it out now.

SOAK - KNOCK ME OFF MY FEET

Grim Town is due out April 26 via Rough Trade,

About the premise of the record, Monds-Watson had this to say:

“…[it’s] a dystopia that I’ve created in my brain: Me on the inside, processed into a pretend location. The way I could wrap my head around a lot of what I was going through was to make it feel like something quite physical and real. Once I had the idea of the album being an actual location, exploring the dynamics of this town and what it would look or sound like felt like the right way to give my mental state a personality.”
