Everything but Everything is turning up the heat with their new single, "Hotshot," the A-side of their new "A & B Sides Vol. Two," an electrifying two-track.
"Hotshot" gets your attention, blasting with a catchy guitar riff immediately establishing its direction. The throbbing pulse grows agitated as thundering drums and sparkling hi-hats push "Hotshot" onward, melding raw energy and dreamy new-wave seduction into hypnotic textures.
Sophia Price is front and center, and her luscious yet dominating vocals always steal the show. With each note, she dances between seductive and demanding, bringing the house down with a breezy delivery that is as emotionally gripping as it is. Her voice soars above the fluid instrumentation, giving the track a magnetic pull.
"Hotshot" is one of those songs that stays with you strawberry sweet and tart, its insatiable melodies and chugging rhythm hard to listen to just once. Everything but the Everything has done it again, proving to be that rare thing, a band able to inject melody, edge, and charisma into a sound that's all their own.
