Phoebe Green Releases New Song “Rage Of A Kid”
Manchester-based singer-songwriter Phoebe Green will release their upcoming EP “The Container” on March 21, 2025 via The Green Dream Machine.
From the EP, they released the third and final pre-release single called “Rage Of A Kid” on February 21, 2025, following “Precious Things” and “What Are You Doing”.
The EP's opening track “Rage Of A Kid” is a powerful, electronically-tinged ballad about healing from past trauma.
The track was written and produced by Phoebe Green, with production by Ric Levy.
The accompanying music video was directed by Phoebe Green and Louise.
Phoebe Green said of the song, “'Rage Of A Kid' follows the discomfort of growing into myself and healing from past trauma. I spent a long time suppressing anger and any other difficult emotion in order to keep my head above water, but looking back I feel as though I wasted valuable years of my life doing anything in my power to avoid being consumed by it. It got to the point where I found it almost impossible to access, and when I did it was directed towards myself, because I felt so guilty for experiencing an emotion I had perceived for so long as “violent”. I learned eventually that anger is healthy and necessary and it serves a purpose when trying to process negative experiences, and especially in our current political climate, anger towards injustice is vital.”- The new EP comprises a 5-track, which was written and produced by Phoebe within the intimate settings of her flat in Manchester and her parents' house in the coastal town of Lytham St Annes.
The lyrics delve into the complexities of intense emotional connections, exploring themes of longing, obsession, and the delicate balance between self-love and self-sacrifice. -
Phoebe Green said of the EP title, “The reason I titled the EP 'The Container' is due to the physical feeling of trying to contain or suppress something. I tried to contain some experiences I had in my teens and the uncomfortable feelings that stemmed from them, but the longer I kept them in the more they ate away at me until in my early twenties I became so unwell that I had to let them out. I used to get so frustrated with the feeling of being misunderstood, and I couldn't understand why nobody reacted to things in the way that I did, so as I grew up I began containing those outbursts. I feel closer to that childlike feeling now in my mid twenties than I ever have.”
