Today Adptd premieres the visual accompaniment for her single “Coward.” The release of the track and music video coincides with the announcement of her signing to rad-pop. records. It also marks the beginning of a new whirlwind as she prepares to release a stream of singles culminating with an EP coming in 2022.
“Coward” shows off the emotionally heavy and vulnerable side of Josie Randle’s lyricism and musicality:
“Coward is such a heartfelt song. You’re bound to feel something. It’s an emotional contrast between expression and surrender to circumstance. The song expresses the waves between the emotion of a relationship and feelings that keep you there yet the pull of destabilization.” – Josie Randle, Adptd
Adptd is composed of Randle (Singer, Song-writer, Guitarist, Producer) a woman of color who is in fact, adopted with a story to tell. She has had the pleasure of collabing with many friends and musicians globally as she has created this unique, emotive, alternative rock record in the Adptd Studio (aka bedroom). The debut EP ‘Bedroom Walls’, which will follow after a series of singles and visual representation, truly reflects off the walls themselves.
She draws her ambient, yet heavy musical sound from a love of 2000s emo rock, top 40 hits, and many other current artist within the pop/rock, pop-punk, and hardcore scene. Though this may be a new project for her, she is no stranger to touring and being in a band as you may be familiar with her previous 3 piece Eye the Realist. With Adptd you can expect raw vulnerability with a focus on the deep feelings of anxiety, depression, political racism and how those experiences collectively impact one’s mental and spiritual wellbeing.
