Slip of the Tongue is quintessentially Imelda. Famed for her prowess as a wordsmith, the EP sees her dissect her own experiences with characteristic sincerity. Tackling issues such as obsession, heartbreak, Covid isolation and love, Imelda says, “I constantly write. Writing pads are filled, backs of envelopes, scraps of paper are scribbled on and scattered around me in between books, trinkets and photos. Melodies swirl in my head. Footsteps become the rhythm to a song. But often words don’t feel like they need anything more than to be spoken aloud or read alone. They just feel good as they are. But I still hear music. It evokes such strong emotion. So I decided to combine my two loves. I think they dance beautifully. I hope you agree.”
For those who have not experienced the magic of Imelda’s spoken word, Slip of the Tongue is an intriguing introduction to her impressive skill as a poetic storyteller. On this daring new EP with a sensuous female power at its core, she invites fans old and new on a journey, with her voice as the guide.
