PRIM - Before You Leave by WWNBB collective

“I started writing songs with my acoustic guitar when I was 14, mainly sounding like Taylor Swift, but I liked other things as well. I’ve always loved British indie-pop like The 1975 and Daughter, and slowly but surely thanks to my band-members who came along since then, I managed to record this EP realizing a dream”. Irene Pignatti talks about herself with such an innocence that’s impossible not to be enchanted by it. Her band goes by the name Prim, a four-piece out of Modena, Italy, in which Irene writes the songs and takes care of vocals, guitar and ukulele. She’s just at the beginning of her career but Prim’s debut Before You Leave shows a clear path ahead: “Every song of this EP is a story–I write of my personal experiences and moments that left me feeling something special. I’m not a poet and I don’t like to use fancy words–I much rather be direct”. The five songs of this EP tell stories of personal growth (In May), moments of friendship (Coffee), and whirlwinds of emotions (Tears). Though it’s a line in Afternoon that strikes more than others: “All the things that I have left unsaid / They are hunting my head“. And it’s maybe to avoid that feeling that Prim ended up writing songs. Prim’s voice is bright and warm, and is completed by a refined indie-pop; a combination that doesn’t go unnoticed and brings back to memory influences names such as Allo Darlin’ and Hello Saferide, in addition to the more contemporary The Japanese House and The Neighbourhood. Irene is the daughter of musician parents who instilled in her the love of music since a young age, the result is this extremely promising debut.
