West London the singer-songwriter and playwright Gemma Rogers weaves a witty yet vulnerable exploration of day drinking on “My Idea of Fun,” with guitar riffs meeting melodic keys as Roger’s smooth vocals capture the trials of drinking in the afternoon.
With lyrics penned while nursing a broken heart, Rogers who has already made a name for herself as a spoken word artist leans into her lyrical prowess to craft a track that’s anthemic yet comical, giving us a reprieve from the seriousness of life.Described as a track which she hopes gives people the chance “to have a little dance and a lot of laughs,” indie-pop punk artist offers an easy-going production that captures the honesty and messiness of the human condition.
A music video featuring David Shillinglaw painting live throughout the shoot and additional animation by Alex Burt, brings the vibrance and intricacies of Roger’s artistry to life in a communicative visual treat.
With this track encapsulating the ups and downs of life much like the rest of her newly released debut album No Place Like Home, Rogers pulls us into socially conscious yet fun-filled slices of lyrical indie pop punk.
