about

This unique and powerful 7” shows a new strength and versatility from the young band. Diva With The Fever of Change is a hard hitting feminist manifesto that explores what it means to be a woman in a man's world. Through her concise and witty lyricism Leman shines a light on the paradox of being both overlooked and overly looked at. This spoken word masterpiece is the love child of Alanis Morissette and Gil Scott Heron; brought to life and dynamically guided by her band of talented players. The 7” has the warmth of an old funk record juxtaposed with the message of an empowered 4th wave feminist.

Alexander Bleakley’s signature bass groove helps to evoke the spirit of the 1970s civil rights movement. Paired with perfectly curated flute lines the band summons the energy of a women’s lib march. Contrasted with Fabian Hunter’s angry fuzz guitar, the groove locks in to a raw power that creates an unstoppable inertia. As the songs moves towards its climax Leman calls her ‘ladies to arms’ and her anger transforms into optimistic empowerment.
