Evie Irie - The Pessimist (2020) Hi Res

Sixteen-year-old soulful pop music wunderkind Evie Irie has discovered the secret to success: Honesty. It’s a simple word that’s transformed into a mantra for the Sydney-born siren. She brings a new style and a new sound to the musical forefront that’s been missing for quite some time. The Pessimist is a 5-track EP from the artist, following the companion EP The Optimist.

Each song is a piece to a puzzle that embodies the rising star known as Evie Irie. “These are the ideas and emotions of a 16-year-old girl in this world trying to be seen,” she says with confidence. “With feelings and emotions and relatable stories and messages that I try to convey, it’s a point of view from me and a snapshot of my life in this moment.”
