Back in April, we were shouting about a girl called Dynamyte, whose drumming and vocal talents caught our eye and ears. ‘Show Me You’ is the track from this homegrown talent which we can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone and everyone who likes watching women rock out.
Kind of Lily Allen meets Amy Winehouse, don’t you think? Either way, the 00s vibes are strong, and with a (literal) kick-ass attitude, it’s clear that Dynamyte won’t be slowing down any time soon.
Ironically, even though she wrote the slyly seductive ‘Show Me You’ as an incisive takedown of the way the social media and influencer culture can inspire young people to live a lie as their online personas, her fan base on Instagram (over 42,000 followers) and TikTok (58.7K followers, 1.2M likes) has expanded exponentially this year.
‘Show Me You’ has a video already – and it already has half a million views, and the song itself has half a million Spotify streams. It’s a testament to how much Dynamyte’s fans are able to relate to her – indeed, the majority of her Tik Tok videos are tutorials; how to sing, how to improve your drumming, learn ukulele in one minute. The idea that Dynamyte wants to share her skills and successes with as many people as possible pays off – everyone who listens to ‘Show Me You’ takes something away with them. A pledge to be more authentic, more unapologetic, more badass and more outspoken, like Dynamyte is herself.
