Minerva Daisy – Something Strange
Minerva Hibbert is an independent 20-year-old alternative pop singer based in Manchester, who goes by the stage name Minerva Daisy. Born to a very creative family, she took up piano lessons at the age of 6. A few years later, she slowly progressed onto song-writing and began performing as a professional singer, songwriter and keyboardist at age 16. Minerva currently studies at the British Institute of Modern Music. Sheβs influenced by powerful female musicians like Etta James, Nina Simone, Florence & The Machine, P!nk, Lily Allen and Kate Nash, as well as artists such as Hozier and Queen. As you might expect, her own music is a tasteful mix of rock, pop, soul and jazz.
Pop-rock anthem Something Strange is only her fourth single, and her darkest track to date. This is a result of the story behind it. Minerva explains: βSomething Strange was written as an emotional outlet almost immediately after I found out an ex partner had been unfaithful to me. This is probably one of the most raw and brutally emotional tracks that I have written and so I wanted the instrumentation to reflect that and give the track the punch it needed.β
With hard-hitting drums, distorted piano melodies, powerful lyrics and some gritty guitars and synth, her mission is accomplished. A catchy, upbeat and dynamic song that deserves a large audience.
