Poesie will release ‘Curious Eve’ on 5th June 2026, returning with a track that feels designed to hit harder than anything she has put forward so far. Described as an eco-feminist anthem, the single pushes her into a punchier indie-rock space, trading sleek pop edges for crunchy riffs, thunderous drums and a melodramatic sense of scale.
That shift matters because it gives Poesie’s writing a new kind of force. Taking on the persona of a furious modern-day Eve, she uses the Biblical creation myth as a way into something more urgent and contemporary, turning curiosity, banishment and rage into a warning about how humanity treats the planet and each other. It is theatrical, provocative and intentionally larger than life, which suits her instincts well.
A louder, sharper turn for Poesie
Musically, ‘Curious Eve’ sounds like a deliberate step away from the electropop framing that first brought attention her way. The press material points to crunchy guitars, punchy lyrics, an anthemic chorus, an organ and even a rap, all feeding into a track that aims for both immediacy and attitude. The Kate Bush comparison makes sense in the song’s dramatic character work, while the broader sense of boldness gives it the feel of a release unafraid to go bigger and stranger.
That makes ‘Curious Eve’ feel like more than a standalone single. It also serves as the debut track from Poesie’s forthcoming five-track EP Nature Mother, a project that continues her focus on ecology, equality and humanity while signalling a more muscular direction for her sound. Co-written, produced and mixed by Fionn Connolly and mastered by Nick Powell, the release arrives as Poesie continues gigging ahead of her headline show at Paper Dress Vintage on 28th October.
Review
I am such a fan of Poesie, and ‘Curious Eve’ feels like exactly the kind of swing you want from an artist when they know they have something to say. This is not polite, tasteful, background-listening stuff. It is bigger, brasher, more theatrical and much more fun than that. The whole track sounds like it has a point to prove, and honestly, I love that about it. It has attitude, it has drama, and it has the kind of chorus-and-riffs energy that makes you want to see it live immediately.
What I really enjoy here is that Poesie does not sound like she is easing into a new direction. She sounds like she is kicking the door open. The concept is bold, the persona is bold, and the production sounds like it knows that subtlety is not the mission. Between the crunchy guitars, the organ, the punchy writing and that sense of revolt running through the track, ‘Curious Eve’ feels gloriously unafraid of being too much. In fact, that is exactly why it works.
There is also loads to enjoy in the detail of how it is built. The Kate Bush-style character work gives it a strong centre, but it is the extra flashes around that which make it feel really memorable: the cascading rhymes, the anthemic chorus, the rap, the sheer melodrama of it all. It sounds like Poesie has found a way to let all sides of her songwriting show at once – the theatrical side, the angry side, the clever side, the part that wants to write something catchy enough to shout back. For me, that is what makes ‘Curious Eve’ so exciting. It does not just hint at a new phase, it arrives fully committed to one.
