Describing herself as a “nerdy wannabe rock star“, SHANNON DARCY reveals almost everything we need to know about the project: punchy and hypnotising material with meaningful lyricism. Emerging from Essex, the talented newcomer has been slowly building up her artistry towards her debut effort ‘Snakes and Ladders’, a fitting track for what we are confident will be a fruitful career.
Introduced by gritty and fuzzy guitars, the record proceeds with Darcy’s ethereal vocals, before jumping into pop-punk territories with charm and control. It’s in the chorus that we get hit by fierce energy and passion. Shannon’s vocals are evocative and ferocious, perfectly fitting the musical material around them. Lyrically, ‘Snakes and Ladders’ conveys a sense of empowerment and belonging, encouraging listeners to tap into their inner strength and stand up against the toxic influences that can seep into their lives.
As Darcy herself explains, ‘Snakes and Ladders’ is a song born out of frustration, inspired by the manipulative and deceitful behaviour of those who seek to climb the ladder of success at the expense of others. With its gritty guitar riffs and powerful vocals, the song is a call to arms for those who have been wronged, urging them to rise up and take back control.
