Black Honey – Beaches
Black Honey are a Brighton 4-piece with plenty bravado, swagger and talent, fronted by energetic front lady Izzy Bee. Not to be confused with Izzy Bizu, by the way. I played their early singles Corrine, All My Pride and Hello Today often in my then radio show Carte Blanche.
In my opinion, their new single Beaches is their finest moment. Its hand clap beat gives it a distinct glam rock feeling. Elsewhere, bursts of horns further fuel the already powerful chorus.
On writing the song, Izzy B. Phillips says:Β βBeaches is cheeky twisted collage of all things weird, set to a playground clapping song. Itβs all eye rolls, punk gigs & girls in polka dot bikinis. A nonsense filled retro world I wanna disappear into at times like these.β
Three minutes of sun-kissed seaside fun!
