Poppy Ajudha Casts Aside Society's Expectations On Uplifting "Devil's Juice"


March 18, 2019

As she continues to prepare for her upcoming UK and European tour, Poppy Ajudha has released "Devil's Juice", her first dose of new music since 2018's Patience EP, which dropped towards the end of the year. The uptempo nature of the track paves the way for her vocals to take centre stage as she makes the most of the opportunity over the luscious, full-bodied instrumental from Mabel and Jorja Smith producer, Joel Compass.

Speaking about the track, she said: "As a society we, latch on to prescribed ideas of how we think we should act and behave. 'Devil's Juice' aims to show how these societal norms are often constructions rooted in tradition and religion; it in turns asks us if we are really satisfied with the lives we're living. The song is based around my queer identity as well as the ideas in Foucault's The History of Sexuality and the novel Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit."
