Lloren last appeared on the pages of With Just A Hint Of Mayhem when we reviewed her single “Mad Woman” last September. Back then I sensed an element of the dark side of Lana del Ray in her music. That is still there with new single “Like I Need”. But this time there is a Sophie B Hawkins vibe and Taylor Swift, modern country pop feel. The track is underpinned by a pulsing, bassy synth riff which drives it as the perfect vehicle for Lloren’s impassioned soaring vocals. This is a truly fabulous song and I love it!

Here is the Mayhem chart for September 2024. Regular and constant readers know that the chart is based on my Spotify listening habits over the last month gathered by obscurify.com. Apparently, my tastes have risen slightly to 98% more obscure than the rest of the UK! The chart remains contemporary-ish (but if a classic artist releases something new they might feature in the chart). However, last month’s top three “Legacy” artists were Stevie Wonder, Kate Bush and David Bowie. Obscurify also suggests the most obscure artists I have listened to for September: Liz Davinci, Kindelan, and Birdlands. There is a top ten artists chart and a top 5 songs chart. There is the usual eclectic mix of artists, including two that were in the top ten last month; Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (falling from 3 to 10) and Delilah Bon (a huge rise from 9 to number 1)! Delilah has been in the artist charts now for ten consecutive months. Two artists appear in both lists for September Delilah Bon and Cassyette! The number one song is “Ballad 2 (Skin Off My Back)” by, the delightful, HerOrangeCoat. So without further ado here are those charts in full! Click on the Spotify link below to listen to the famous (or infamous) five!

Lloren’s gorgeous new single “Mad Woman” evokes the dark side of Lana del Ray and Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game”. The darkly, enticing ballad washes over and into you with a sublime majesty. Lloren’s voice is emotional, yearning, ethereal, darkly angelic, and with a clarity like none of her contemporaries. Lyrically she seems to deal with the weird line between men and women which appears to let men get away with almost anything. I was haunted by this incredible tune on first listen and it seems to refuse to leave my head!
