Following an exclusive first play on BBC Radio London’s Robert Elms Show and being selected by Mi-Soul Radio as their One-To-Watch track of the week, Abi Farrell releases her third single on Big AC Records.
‘Don’t Follow Me’ - a stunning, stirring and unforgettable composition which will surely add to her burgeoning reputation amongst fans of soul, funk and great songwriting!
The song is a social commentary on misogyny and serves as a righteous beacon of hope and defiance at a time of growing concerns about a culture of male violence.
The song begins with a cool, Colemine-esque groove underpinned by mellotron and vintage synths, building to a glorious, soaring crescendo when the all-star line-up of backing vocalists come to the fore with a call-toaction, demanding solidarity, accountability and delivering a message of hope.
As with every Big AC release, this single will be pressed onto limited edition 7" vinyl with a picture sleeve on the flip side to Abi's follow up single.
Pre-orders available mid-November
