Phoebe Green heals her younger self on new single, "Rage Of A Kid"
Manchester's Phoebe Green has released the brand new single, "Rage Of A Kid" as the final taste of her forthcoming EP, The Container.
"‘Rage Of A Kid’ follows the discomfort of growing into myself and healing from past trauma. I spent a long time suppressing anger and any other difficult emotion in order to keep my head above water, but looking back I feel as though I wasted valuable years of my life doing anything in my power to avoid being consumed by it," Phoebe Green says if the song's inspiration.
It got to the point where I found it almost impossible to access, and when I did it was directed towards myself, because I felt so guilty for experiencing an emotion I had perceived for so long as “violent”. I learned eventually that anger is healthy and necessary and it serves a purpose when trying to process negative experiences, and especially in our current political climate, anger towards injustice is vital."
"The reason I titled the EP ‘The Container’ is due to the physical feeling of trying to contain or suppress something. I tried to contain some experiences I had in my teens and the uncomfortable feelings that stemmed from them, but the longer I kept them in the more they ate away at me until in my early twenties I became so unwell that I had to let them out. I used to get so frustrated with the feeling of being misunderstood, and I couldn’t understand why nobody reacted to things in the way that I did, so as I grew up I began containing those outbursts. I feel closer to that childlike feeling now in my mid twenties than I ever have."
The Container will be released on 21 March. Phoebe Green will embark on a headline tour of the UK in April, tickets on sale now here.
