Marking her return to the music realm after a five-year interlude, TESHA’s latest opus, ‘Like A Man,’ emerges as a profound and incisive critique of patriarchal paradigms, inspired by the political and religious convulsions in her native land.
This composition is a masterful confluence of 90’s indie and alternative rock, adeptly encapsulating the track’s intense, moody, and seductive essence and reminiscent of tesha’s nostalgic childhood . The piece invites listeners on an auditory odyssey, mirroring the emotional turbulence of its narrative.
Tesha’s ethereal vocals are both haunting and mesmerizing, enveloping the audience in the song’s introspective and somber even angry atmosphere. The instrumentation is equally enthralling, characterized by a raw and gritty resonance that amplifies the song’s thematic depth. The guitar work, in particular, is exemplary, conveying a sense of urgency and disquietude that harmonizes with the lyrics’ exploration of power and subjugation.
Through ‘Like A Man,’ Tesha not only displays her artistic virtuosity but also delivers a poignant social commentary. This track heralds a formidable re-entry for the artist and offers an auspicious glimpse into her forthcoming debut album, slated for release in 2024. Admirers of Garbage, CocoRosie, and Pj Harvey will find ‘Like A Man’ an enthralling addition to their repertoire, as it commands attention with its profound political stance and lyrical sophistication.
