Redesya - TendeRage
Alt-pop duo Redesya release stunning debut EP, 'TendeRage'! The album's title and cover suggest a sincere reflection on the journey towards and into adulthood. Especially those tender and sometimes treacherous, rageful twenties. A time of vibrant spirit and gusto, but also being met head-on with life's realities. This EP is meant to take you through that phase, with all the ups and downs that come with it. All those raw, misunderstood emotions and feelings that make up that precarious step forward into adulthood. The Italian alt-pop duo, Redesya have a terrific coherence between them, owing perhaps to their real-life partnership that extends into everything they do. Having been working together for the past eight years, they've built an incredible level of trust and acceptance of each other wherein no idea feels too new or strange to explore together. Their sound blends pop with alternative and electronic vibes, shifting from groovy rhythms to introspective lyrics. That perfectly suits the theme of their debut EP, 'TendeRage' We open onto 'BLAH BLAH BLAH', boldly introducing to their sound, somewhere between dark pop and electronic music. What's apparent immediately is the fact that there's a remarkable balance between the duo, in sound and otherwise. Minimal, industrial and expressive, its darkly engaging. The contrast between the melodies and blaring sounds is certainly interesting and conveys great personality and character. We love how the tracks are designed and named after women, representing an archtype. 'Liv' is the anxious one, seeking space and distance. The track is moody and emotional, and has her expressing her concerns and anxieties in soft, melodious detail. 'Jessie' is upbeat, extroverted and full of life. Oozing charisma and sexuality, the track hits you with orgasmic bass lines and sultry vocals. 'Blue Nostalgia' is warm and inviting, a fitting close to the album with grace, love and lightness. After all, aren't our twenties a blur of experiences, learnings and so much more! This album is able to capture that range of highs and lows, diverse personas and shifting identities, figuring out who you are and how to be yourself. What makes Redesya's debut EP special is the range of storytelling and composition styles on display. It speaks volumes to the duo's creative talents and sonic identity. They are able to wickedly trasnlate their individual and collective lived experiences into a sound that modern, authentic and downright cool. With plenty of promise and potential going forward, Redesya are one to keep an eye out for! 'TendeRage' is a gem of EP, full of personality and electro-pop charm. We could see the album being the score to a teen rom com flick such as '10 Things I Hate About You' or 'American Pie'!
