Emerging East Anglian-based grunge-pop talent Gabby Rivers shares the title track from her upcoming EP What is the problem? Encapsulating the frustrations of being close to someone who weighs you down with their presence, the track is rooted in Gabby’s grungy signature and angsty lyrics.
With distorted bass and fuzzy guitar lines at its core, the anthemic production builds tension towards an explosive midpoint and a swelling guitar-led end note, the track is heavy yet triumphant as it closes with an energetic feel.
Speaking of the track, Gabby says, “What is the problem?’ is about the emotional weight of being close to someone who always seems to have an issue with everything, and makes those issues everyone else’s responsibility. It’s about the frustration of constantly picking up the pieces they leave behind, feeling like you’re expected to fix things that were never yours to begin with, and realizing how impossible that can be.”
Laden with heartache and anger in equal parts, the gritty track is an alluring peek at the alt-rock meets indie-pop approach we can expect in the upcoming seven-track EP. Continue her ascent with her powerful musicality, Gabby Rivers has cemented her place as an exciting up and comer as her blend of vibrant melodies and honest songwriting sees her build a solid presence both in the local scene and nationally.
