Na haar intense eerste single Out For Blood laat Safire in deze song haar zachte kant horen. Bovendien 'een zeldene gelegenheid mij te horen zingen', geeft ze zelf mee. Haar stem zweeft lichtjes zwoel en bijna smekend boven een hypnotiserende industrial beat die regelrecht uit één van de drone machines van Author & Punisher zou kunnen komen. Tweede zeer geslaagde nieuwe song van deze intrigerende Hackney native.

“This track is about battling with your inner demons and being plagued by negative inner voices in your lowest moments. I’ve portrayed these characters as Angels & Demons.”
SAFIRE explores making it through the darkness and into the light through her own traumatic experiences.
“When writing the lyrics and melodies for Angels & Demons I closed my eyes and imagined a demon leaning over my shoulder from behind me and whispering my fears into my ear at my lowest and most vulnerable point, taking me deeper into their world,” says SAFIRE (she/they).
“I've battled with traumatic childhood/teenage experiences (demons) throughout my life and this track explores those dark thoughts and my battle to see the light in those moments. ‘Angels & Demons’ represents good/evil, light/dark and happiness/depression. I chose to sing on this track because I wanted to share a piece of my soul and allow myself to feel and 'be' vulnerable. Using my voice in this way enables you to hear the pain I'm experiencing. This isn't something I often feel like I can do. I stopped singing a couple of years ago and I also stopped crying because I arrived at a point where I just couldn't allow myself to fall apart. This track gave me a rare opportunity to let some of that out and to share something intimate and very personal and my hope is that it connects with others that are battling with the same thoughts and emotions that I'm sharing on this track. The one thing I'm sure of is that as much as the darkness exists that the light does too and I fight my way to that light every day.”
Hackney-born, Brighton-based independent artist SAFIRE has only released a handful of tracks to date but is already garnering a rapt following with her focus on female empowerment, dominance and sexuality. Collaborating with Dan Weller (Holding Absence, The Amazons, ZAND), Tylr Rydr (Cassyette, Bambi Thug, James Indigo) and Kai Smith (Anne Marie, Dua Lipa, Alien Blaze), she’s been catching attention from underground blogs and a broad range of DSP playlists, through to the broadcasting behemoth that is BBC Radio 1. SAFIRE is a multi-instrumentalist, writer and producer with something to say.
