TRACK REVIEW: Eve Simpson – The Strangest Company

Eve Simpson’s latest single, The Strangest Company, is an emotional, acoustic rollercoaster. Self-described as “an ethereal and heartfelt narrative” the song has a Sad Girl Autumn kind of vibe.

The lyrics tell the story of an outsider, who is “completely over the concept of fitting in” but is afraid of being treated poorly by those around her if she doesn’t. Based upon Eve’s real-life experience at a house party, each word follows the lone protagonist who learns from the different experiences of those around her whilst simultaneously feeling out of place. A heavenly blend of lead vocals, harmonies, fiddle and piano, The Strangest Company, in all of its Joni Mitchell-inspired splendour, displays an emerging depth to Eve’s catalogue.
