‘Astrid’ is Polly Money’s follow-up from last year’s well-received tracks, ‘TWNTYS’ and ‘Roommate’. The track is a funky, dreamy piece of pop that combines bright synths with shuffling drums and a powerful vocal melody, showing off how much her songwriting style has developed over the last year. The video is a testament to the current era, being shot on an iPhone (yet still capturing a colourful, atmospheric vibe) and edited over Zoom, while she describes the lyrical content as about “Earth-shattering sex. The kind of touch you know you’ll never forget and most likely never recover from”. Her delicate skill has seen her land support slots with Muse and record collaborations with Denai Moore. -Dan Peeke
