Fast-rising 17-year-old songwriter Evann McIntosh is approaching the release of their new project Character Development later this month, and has today revealed the latest single and video from it, “COCO PEBBLES”. McIntosh says:
“’COCO PEBBLES’ is a track that was inspired by the first time I’d heard ‘Irresistible Bitch’ by Prince. It sounds nothing like it, but I’d really wanted to make a funky track like that and this is what came to be.”
It may not sound entirely like Prince, but “COCO PEBBLES” definitely has a slickness and funkiness that the Purple One would approve of. Employing an irrepressible bassline, jazzy synth melodies, and infectious percussion, among other instrumentation, the song will have you under its sway in no time. The icing on the cake is McIntosh’s vocal, a breathy, suggestive delivery that’s dripping with salaciousness even though the lines are filled with devilish innocence. Comparing their crush to lemonade or a second cup of Coco Pebbles, admiring her even when she’s insincere, and ultimately feeling so jazzed about the attraction that all they wanna do is dance, Evan McIntosh is fully in their groove on this one – and you will be powerless to resist.
Listen to “COCO PEBBLES” on streaming platforms or watch the charming video below.
Evann McIntosh’s Character Development arrives on August 27 through Mom + Pop. You can find them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.
