I feel it would be rude of me not to write about Moyka<\/strong> again, but especially because her tracks are simply thrilling to me. Norway’s latest pop sensation is almost ready to unleash her debut EP, “Circles<\/strong>” but has one last, gorgeous treat in store by way of a final teaser track “Ride.” Again, it is Moyka’s ethereally, piqued vocals which set the mood from the beginning of the track. She has a voice so effortlessly haunting, that it instantaneously brings on the chills. The groove is ice-cold. The lyrics mysterious and thoughtful, but although the track is frosty and chilling, it is still pop, and catchy. <\/p>\n

Ordinarily, I don’t like to cut and paste passages from press releases, as I prefer to share my own thoughts and feelings about the songs I review. I am making an exception regarding “Ride<\/strong>” because the brief has what I consider to be, an important statement to share from the singer. <\/p>\n

The press release states…<\/p>\n

Producing the EP was as much of a catharsis for Moyka as writing the songs in the first place – it was a process of claiming ownership over her sound, establishing her musical character, and finishing something with love.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere absolutely should be more women producers!\u201d she cries. \u201cIt\u2019s really important. I don\u2019t know why there aren\u2019t? It\u2019s off-putting to walk into a room with a load of guys talking about plug-ins. It\u2019s not productive when you\u2019re a woman, and you need to find your own sound.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
