SPELLES TEACH ME HOW TO PRAY
SPELLES knows how to make really ear-catching tracks. Her first single ‘Bird In A Cage’ won a coveted spot on Pretty Little Liars even before it was officially released, and her latest offering ‘Teach Me How To Pray’ is another piece of sync gold. Stylistically it’s been described as ‘electro-gospel’, which translates musically as drum and string-heavy choruses with spacey, minimal verses. Over both sit SPELLES' direct vocal which cry ‘lay me in the river, I won’t be afraid, open your mouth, teach me how to pray’. Describing the process of writing the track, SPELLES says: “I think I was in my kitchen and I started singing the backing vocals out of nowhere... it was one of those rare songs that came together really quickly, so it was exciting.” If that’s what she can produce in a day, we can’t wait to see what she can cook up with some proper studio time… -HM
