The track is from the upcoming deluxe edition of the artist’s acclaimed debut album spittake
With the release of her immersive new single ‘sportscar [scrapped]’, rising indie artist meg elsier does a great job of reminding us of her captivating allure as a songwriter and artist ahead of the release of the deluxe edition of her acclaimed debut album spittake, out July 25th.
The track neatly contrasts verses full of introspection with more purposeful and soaring choruses, showcasing the duality of the artist’s sound and the range of emotions and different paces and levels of acceleration that she is aiming to capture through the track. The hooky and stylish nature of the track makes for a listening experience that evokes the feeling of a late night drive (even better if you listen to it while on one), and its ambitious and composed charm exudes an authentic and powerful kind of coolness.
“‘sportscar’ is a really interesting addition to the deluxe, specifically because ‘spittake’ almost had a completely different identity,” meg reveals. “There was a time when I was playing with the idea of naming the album Check Engine Light On. The influence of cars and how they move you through life is something I didn’t realize was so important to ‘spittake’ until after I’d written it.”
