She Made Me Do It - Otherwordly
Release Date: March 05, 2021
Label: selfrelease
Format: CD / Digital
Length: 24:53
Genre: Alternative Rock
Origin: London, England

"Otherworldy" is the newest EP by London's Alternative Rock duo She Made Me Do It (okay, there has been a remix version of that release since). If the EP's name rings a bell, that might be because the title track was featured in the Discoveries of the Week recently. She Made Me Do It are Rachel Stamp members Shaheena Dax (vocals, bass, keyboards), and Will Crewdson (guitar, vocals, keyboards). The drums on "Otherwordly" are played by Joe Holweger, Will Crewdson's colleague from the Adam Ant Band.



The six-track EP is a wild ride through the sensual and emotional reality of human life. She Made Me Do It dive down towards the darkest depths of the psyche and skyrocket up the most colourful and giddy hights of euphoria. "Otherworldy" is defined by impressive images representing the up and down of sensual beings' feelings.
Music-wise, She Made Me Do It produce a boppy, powerful, and yet emotional soundscape that can be located somewhere in the realms of Alternative Rock. Although, they do not create the typical Millenium-era dark and melancholic style of the genre. Instead, "Otherwordly" is coined by a very energetic, boppy sound that fits the dancefloors as well as a long night at the beach. She Made Me Do It's new EP is a musicked rollercoaster ride - loopings and twists included.
