Energising and rebellion instigating, Drones‘ head-banger worthy Josephine is the breakup anthem you never knew you needed to free yourself from the chains of a toxic relationship. With upbeat drums, rioty guitar riffs and unleashed vocals and a fiery, epic climax, this song makes itself noticed and has high chances of becoming your latest obsession as its powerful, invigorating melody will lift your spirit without becoming exhausting. And on top of this, the tune is joined by a quirky and fun video featuring clay chameleons and space travelling – what more can you wish for?

Josephine is a deeply personal journey into vocalist Lois McDougall’s past unhealthy relationship with alcohol, as she explains:

Growing up in Britain with its normalised binge-drinking culture, I never thought much about the fact I was relying on alcohol to feel relaxed and to have fun. It wasn’t until recently that I was forced to tear myself away from it and realised how badly alcohol had been affecting me and my relationships. I wasn’t in control and was abusing myself with alcohol to try and suppress my depression. People started referring to the intoxicated me as ‘Josephine’. At first this was funny. Josephine was a clown. But there’s nothing funny about self-abuse. This song is about me realising that. Alcohol can be great, but if you don’t feel like you can say no to it, it’s time for a change.
