Following the release of his anthemic disco track ‘Guilty’, Rhumba Club enlists Mystery Jets’ Jack Flanagan and rising gem Abbie Ozard for his new indie-pop single ‘(I’m Gonna Construct) An Image’, out today. Listen HERE.
‘(I’m Gonna Construct) An Image’ sees Rhumba Club brainchild Tom Falle embrace an honest state of self-awareness. Stripping things back, Tom’s soulful vocals and playful lyrics take centre stage, supported by Flanaghan’s indie-powered bass and Ozard’s soft echo. Filmed from his childhood home, the accompanying video shows the realities of Tom’s conservative-like upbringing as he ponders on the artifice in and around his life.
About the new track he explains:
“An image is concerned with the construction of my identity, both personally and artistically. In my view, it’s part of the human experience to try and fit normative moulds – whether that’s through displaying the attributes of gender, meeting the expectations of your parents, or meticulously curating your lifestyle on Instagram. The track is about both the pressure to conform to certain ideas of success and masculinity whilst growing up, as well as a reflection on the image I have constructed as Rhumba Club.”
