Tim: You might assume, given the name, that Vérité is French; you would be wrong (I think – SoundCloud bio has her based in New York, and none of her tweets are French, so probably not). In any case, here’s something that is both soulful and LOUD.
Tom: That’s a heck of a voice, and that slow start shows it off properly.
Tim: Indeed, and along with that the rest gives a track I’m very much in favour of. Took a while to get going properly, as do many, but then built throughout and became very worth it come the end of the first chorus, and very much more so throughout.
Tom: You know, I think if we were starting this site all over again, Tim, I’d actually have some sort of rating system based on “how much of a banger it is”. Because to me, this just isn’t one: I thought it had actually finished when it did that fake ending at 2:39, and I was mildly disappointed when it started up again.
Tim: Well, there’s always the skip button, but like I promised it’s soulful and loud (and you’re right, I’m not sure this qualifies as a true banger), with her vocal that’s exactly where it should be.
Tom: It is soulful, it is loud… I’m just not enjoying listening to it.
Tim: Oh, shame, because I’d say it’s quite the banger, and very much worth having in this world.
