Laid back, languid vocals, reminiscent of Lana del Rey, or Nancy Sinatra, and having a soulful, almost rootsy edge, ‘Braindead’ is the debut single from singer songwriter Celest Lamberti. The single is out today, December 4, and can be streamed and downloaded here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The instrumental track backing the vocals is a skilful blend of fluid guitar textures and warm synths, with a groove that will get your feet moving.<\/p>\n

Celest’s usual lyrical style is vague and abstract, but for this single she chose instead to focus her lyrics so they remained uncomplicated, and their beauty shines through.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the track she said,<\/p>\n

“The song encapsulates the idea of stripping yourself away from societal expectations and inner emotional battles”.<\/p>\n

18 year old Celest Lamberti is based in London, and her songs are a colourful, and often psychedelic, soul-searching experience, with the sound reflecting her Latinx and Italian heritage. Beyond her own solo material, Celest also heads the band, Blue Psyche, whose music combines shoe-gaze reverb with 70s prog rock, and a Latin style groove, a la The Doors. She is a multi-instrumentalist and producer, and has had professional music training from a young age.<\/p>\n

‘Braindead’ is the first of many upcoming releases from Celest, with the next set to drop in January.<\/p>\n
