The Mandevilles / "Wasn't Always"

 

The Skinny Review:
"Wasn't Always" is the focus track from The Mandevilles' brand new Junkie EP. While each of the five songs on the release feature powerful vocals and undeniable rock/pop energy, "Wasn't Always" really drives home an even deeper level of emotion. And if you're looking for an intense rock song, another notable mention is the first track, "Junkie", which the new EP is named for.

In Their Own Words:
Serena picks the focus track “Wasn’t Always” as her favourite song on the record. “To me, it picks up where ‘Turn a Blind Eye’ left off. It’s some of the best songwriting we’ve done,” she’s referring to the single from the 2012 album Goodnight Golden Sun. It started with the lyric and melody “I wasn’t always like this” as we were noodling over what became the pre-chorus chord progression. The idea that you can be changed into something you no longer recognize as yourself. By a person or circumstance. It’s an introspective soliloquy – a plea to yourself. The rhythmic drum pattern hypnotizes.
