Now, anyone who knows me knows i love a miserable song - not Morrissey miserable, i'm not THAT depressing - i like a more bittersweet miserable, songs that slip under the radar because on first listening they sound 'nice'. But so much as scratch the surface, or in this case pay attention to the title and you'll find a whole rats nest of loathing going on.
Front and centre Mama Kin then, coming at us all the way from Western Australia, i've heard her music described as vulnerable, smoldering, primal and tender, which is a very handy shorthand description for "Tore My Heart Out".
The first release from her soon to be released debut album it's not the best showcase of her soulful voice, but from the simple piano refrain to the layers of vocal harmony and brooding cello, the ebb and flow of the music work together to compliment a rather personal song of love and loss.
It's quite sweet. In a bitter sort of way.
