Lioness - Name Sayers (Pop) Abstract and unique, Name Sayer’s latest track “Lioness” is quite a standout among all of the songs we’ve reviewed recently on this blog. There’s an ASMR quality to this track, imbued with tension and danger that really make you feel like you’re in the crosshairs of a predator. The vocal is almost a whisper at times, close and intimate, which when paired with the tribal drums becomes quite seductive—hypnotic even. But that’s not to say the track doesn’t have momentum, as we eventually crescendo from being stalked in the jungle to being pursued through foreign bazaar with the introduction of a miasma of new instrumentation. We really appreciate the artistry of this one, it doesn’t sound like anything we’ve heard recently on the indie scene and it projects a palpable sense of danger throughout. Get into “Lioness”, but only if you’re prepared to be the prey.
Best Lyric: “I think that lioness is stalking you.”
