Brat punk superstar Delilah Bon has unleashed her new single “Maverick” on International Women’s Day. how many artists get better and better with every release, not many, but Delilah Bon certainly does. “Maverick” is another incendiary blend of rap and metal on which Delilah is in explosive form. Her first album was an absolute classic, as a pointer to the new album this track suggests that the album will be stunning. She uses her newest creation to celebrate womanhood, self-love, and self-worth. Once again misogynists will be pissed off, but who gives a fuck about them? Delilah has this to say about the new song “‘Maverick’ is a song about self-worth and reclaiming your confidence, reminding yourself that you belong in the rooms you don’t always feel welcomed in. It’s about looking yourself in the mirror and believing in your power without needing the approval of others.” As always Delilah is absolutely on point. Her fans, including me, will love “Maverick” and it will no doubt bring many more fans into the Bon Bon club. Incidentally the definition of maverick in my dictionary is “an unorthodox or independent-minded person“, Delilah Bon is clearly both of those!

Delilah has some huge gigs and festivals in 2024, including playing the Avalanche Stage at Download. Then the new album will hit the world like an atom bomb later this year. As an advocate for women’s and LGBTQ+ rights and frankly, any put-down minority Delilah is more passionate and angry than most. But she channels all of that into her astounding music. Is the world really ready for Delilah Bon? I don’t know, but it better fucking had be because she is here to stay! The video for “Maverick” is something special too! Are the two Delilahs talking to each other through the mirror actually Lauren and Delilah? Who knows? But what a stunning film!

“Where My Girls At?” – Delilah Bon October 12, 2020

Regular readers will know that I am a huge fan of Delilah Bon (alter ego of Hands Off Gretel frontwoman Lauren Tate). This woman is empowered and recognises inequality and misogyny and calls it out. Her new track “Where My Girls At?” is something that every young woman who feels threatened and put upon by the inherent sexism and patriarchy in the world should listen too. Not only is Delilah Bon’s message a powerful one, it also comes nicely wrapped in a great pop rap tune. To be fair white rappers have often been less than average (Vanilla Ice) but some have been truly sensational (Eminem) and I reckon it is time to add Delilah Bon to the latter category. “Where My Girls At?” is a classy, funky rap track that I think Lauryn Hill would have been proud of. If you thought Delilah Bon was just an angry, serious message bringer check out the video (wonderfully filmed by her Mum Helen Tate) to the end. The outtakes are hilarious, human, natural and clearly show that she has a great self deprecating manner. The Delilah Bon album will be a contender for album of the year in 2020 or 2021 whenever it arrives. If you have not listened to Delilah Bon yet I suggest that you get off your lazy arse and do it now! You will not be disappointed. Unless of course you are a sexist, creepy prick, in which case fuck off, I don’t want you on my site!
