Kent songwriter venbee has returned with 'stars (john’s local)', the latest preview of her forthcoming EP back to the drawing board, due on 4 September in drum and bass.
The track imagines an ordinary neighbourhood pub transforming into an impossibly large rave as one chaotic detail follows another. Instead of presenting herself as the centre of a dramatic confession, venbee acts as an observer moving through spilled drinks, questionable decisions and fragmented conversations.
Its drum-and-bass production supplies momentum without overwhelming the humour or conversational phrasing. The accompanying video, directed by Dante Richardson, embraces the same disorderly energy. The EP will also include 'encore, encore' and 'not my day', continuing venbee’s interest in finding hooks inside everyday social chaos.
