Folly Rae unleashes an audio two fingers to her ex on power pop track "You Don't Love Me"

British/Norwegian artist Folly Rae follows up her viral smash "Sniper" with an extraordinarily large slice of power pop, "You Don’t Love Me".

Released via Black Butter, Folly Rae’s voice is characterful and instantly recognisable, her delivery aerial yet forceful. Rather than being an ode to a lost love, this is a obvious audio two fingers to an ex for wasting her time and failing to show affection.

Rae’s musical upbringing was diverse, surrounded by Motown and jazz records whilst her current influences range from Joni Mitchell to Sia. This multiplicity of influences shines through in Rae’s music, seen in the way that "You Don’t Love Me" carries itself with the weightless Scandi-style of Astrid S and combines the lyrical bite of La Roux.

Speaking of the song, Rae commented: "The title is the essence of the song and it’s about an ex who I cared about. He wanted everything from me, but couldn't give me anything in return as he never loved himself enough to love me.”

"You Don't Love Me" is out now via Black Butter Records.
