The track showcases the artist at her most stripped-back and politically-charged in impactful fashion
An atmospheric change of pace when compared to her usually more charged and electronic-based sound, latest Cheska Moore single ‘Rotten Fruit’ is a track that utilises a more stripped-back and raw soundscape to paint a powerful picture of corrupt power structures, global inequality, war, and political division, in a time where all of those things feel as prevalent as they ever have.
The intense and politically-inclined track is a masterful showcase of how less can be more in emphatic fashion, with this more subdued sound putting increased focus on Cheska’s biting lyrics and the hopeless realities that seem to surround them and modern life as a whole. It is a track that is packed full of nuance and a quiet strength throughout, with its folky tone and Celtic influence making for a track that builds and rises over time in devastatingly powerful fashion.
“If I’m blaming myself for feeling powerless,”Moore explains, “then the people who actually hold the power have to take accountability too.”
