Bringing back more of that smooth and enticing pop texture she has cultivated for herself, ‘Take Me To Your Leader’ gives us a more glittering insight into what we can expect from her forthcoming full-length. With her own soaring voice layered amongst a bed of bouncing production, her newest release makes for a broad and compelling listen throughout. Speaking about the new offering, she said, "A lot of 'Memory Girl' is about overcoming imposter syndrome in the world around you, and within yourself - and I think Take Me To Your Leader is the track which most explores this theme. I’d had this idea of feeling ‘alien’ floating around for a while - and the phrase Take Me To Your Leader is one I’d never really heard in a song before, so at first I was unsure but it really grew on me. "It’s about wanting to belong - almost obsessively, wanting to have something valid to say, and these thoughts and feelings spiral until you become fixated “I want to peel your skin, dive for gold, let me in”. Having spent the last few years developing and cultivating her sound, ‘Memory Girl’ marks a major milestone in the Liverpudlian’s career to date. Bringing together a wealth of material she has released over the last year, as well as brand new offerings, her new full-length aims to create a fresh and retrospective look at her output so far, giving us a tantalising taste of her glorious direction. Lyrics I want the sum of your parts Give me your head Give me your heart And I want to peel your skin Dive for gold Let me in Take me to your leader Promise you’ll pull me into the fold Say you’ll never leave me ‘Cause I never wanna be alone I want to lose control To someone else Who’ll break my fall And if I give you the key Can you pull my strings? Not be seen Take me to your leader Promise you’ll pull me into the fold Say you’ll never leave me ‘Cause I never wanna be alone Take me to your leader Promise you’ll pull me into the light See that I’ve been bleeding Baby now I’m just a sorry sight Now I’m just a sorry sight Now I’m just a sorry sight Take me to your leader Promise you’ll pull me into the fold Say you’ll never leave me ‘Cause I don't wanna be alone Take me to your leader Promise you’ll pull me into the light See that I’ve been bleeding Baby now I’m just a sorry sight
