Future Soul singer-songwriter Inês releases her lead single ‘Hands’ from her debut body of work ‘The Vessel’.
‘Hands’ marks a highly-anticipated release for Inês, which includes haunting melodies, sweet vocals and sensual pop grooves.
Of the lead single, Inês says “I wrote it for my partner. It’s about letting yourself be present for pleasure rather than being braced for disappointment. He is the one who can coax me out into the open where we can dance together. He taught me to let go. I wanted it to be something that would charge our intimacy when we heard it.”
Overflowing with lyrics, breathless with anticipation and set over manically driving bass & percussion, the first verse teases us toward a sweet release and a heavy groove – in other words, baby-making music. “Where my last single ‘Head’ was about an unrequited fantasy, ‘Hands’ relishes communicating openly with your lover.”
Through The Vessel EP Inês offers herself – more specifically her body – to us. This can be seen in her song titles and autobiographical lyrics as she explores her “Hands”, “Head”, ‘Lashes’ and ‘Hair’; each are metaphors for traversing relationships. The EP concludes with ‘Storm’, a love song written for her band.
Inês was born in Portugal and raised in Sydney’s Inner West. As a child, her mother’s love of poetry, Brazilian samba, American Jazz and the profound, melancholic moods of the haunting solo female singers of Fado began shaping her own musical experience.
