Rita Mae shares new track 'Poster Child'.

Rita Mae has shared the new single 'Poster Child' from her forthcoming 'Kiss The Sky' EP. 

On the track she shares: “All I knew is I was feeling antsy, I needed to make a song that had energy, that matched this restless feeling that I couldn’t pinpoint... I make a lot of music as a way to process specific experiences and emotions. It’s less common for me to write from a place where I just want to capture a feeling, but on this day that’s what I wanted to do. I just felt a bit cooped up and on edge but I didn’t know how to describe it, I was craving an upbeat song with a kind of driving feeling to it to get that anxiety out of my system. We didn’t have any reference tracks or artists in mind, we just wanted to write a song about being bored and antsy and desperate for validation! But make it fun and something you can dance to!”

The 'Kiss The Sky' EP will be released on November 8th.
