Cody Frost has shared the haunting new track – I (should) take better care – available everywhere now.
Listen to the track here.
Cody Frost is without a doubt carving a unique path for herself – a unique blend of raw, real and remarkable sonic liberties. After making a domestic impact with her debut ‘verbal warnings’, her second single ‘HIGH/BYE’ added Stateside acclaim from PAPER and Vanyaland to her burgeoning reputation. Now, she has shared her third release ‘(I should) take better care’. As with her other recent tracks, producer Dan Weller (Enter Shikari, SikTh) helped bring Cody’s vision to life. And while Cody likes music to be stripped back and confessional, she had her doubts about including the beautiful, melancholic new single.
Cody explains, “This song is about the process of admitting that you’re struggling, I find it hard to admit when I’m sad, or when I need help, so it’s a reminder that I’m not the only one”.
The single is accompanied by an official stripped back live recording of the single. While Cody’s whirlwind of personality and intense visual aesthetic, the video instead keeps things as simple as possible with a tight focus on her performance and a plain black backdrop. This allows Cody to share the power of her vocal and the depth of the song’s emotional resonance, the control she has over it and the passion she is able to imbue into it through to its dramatic conclusion.
Cody’s early experiences in music were modest, covering Frank Ocean, Nirvana and Slipknot on YouTube and busking in Manchester. After being diagnosed with and then being able to manage her ADHD, Cody put a new focus on her music. Suddenly that low-key start had been replaced with praise from a range of influential talents including Enter Shikari, Tyler Oakley, Sonique, Young Guns and Shamir. Cody, however, has remained grounded and continues to work as both a tattooist and an artist as her music career is beginning to explode.
