INTERVIEW – Mollie Coddled @ Manchester’s Year’s End Festival
14 December 2023
The rising artist has created another hit, which depicts the vulnerability of heart paired with electric guitar moments.
Tilly’s guitar ability stands out, and makes what should be a more sombre themed release which details an ending love – a fun, energetic track.
As the title ‘Restart’ implies, the song almost takes back power from a failed situation and demonstrates perspective – which comes from being self-aware of recognising when to leave a situation. It would not be surprising if this track were to feature within a compilation scene in a coming-of-age movie.
The song highlights how even after breaking down barriers, baring your heart and feelings to someone – it can still not work out. When describing the tune, Tilly said: “Falling in love too fast, giving every piece and part of you to a person that wants the idea of you. Not the real you.”
Since emerging in 2020, Tilly has developed music which really examines the different feelings which emerge during adulthood, including self-criticism, love and life in-between. Particularly, Tilly’s previously released track – ‘Make Me a Robot’, embodies the difficulties that come with being capable of so many feelings, and it idealises the thought of being emotionless.
Taking inspiration from the likes of Blondie and Paramore, Tilly also looks up to local Liverpool artists Zuzu, Natalie McCool, and Pixey.
Her latest EP ‘Join The Club’, was well received and made its way onto various Official Spotify playlists such as Fresh Finds Rock. The previous EP delivered tracks such as the title track and ‘Baggy T-shirt’, which simplistically demonstrate the musicality of Tilly, again with consistent memorable guitar riffs. Racking up over 50,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, this multi-talented artist is one to watch.
