With “Like Adam Would”, Brighton’s Girl Apocrypha delivers a thrilling collision of grunge, synth-pop and alternative rock that feels as chaotic as the emotions driving it. Raw, theatrical and impossible to pin down, the new single captures the dizzying intensity of total infatuation and transforms it into one of her most compelling releases yet.
Opening with a blast of distorted guitars before slipping into a dreamlike electronic haze, the track constantly reinvents itself. Fuzzy riffs, pulsing synths, crashing live drums and unexpected moments of piano-led vulnerability create a soundscape that feels both meticulously crafted and delightfully unpredictable. Every twist serves the song’s emotional core, mirroring the all-consuming obsession at the heart of the lyrics.
What makes “Like Adam Would” so captivating is its willingness to embrace extremes. Girl Apocrypha moves effortlessly between heavy and delicate, intimate and explosive, never settling in one place for too long. The result is a track that feels alive with tension, constantly pulling listeners deeper into its strange and seductive world.
Vocally, she is magnetic throughout. Her performance shifts from hushed, processed passages to soaring moments of unfiltered emotion, balancing vulnerability with confidence in a way that perfectly suits the song’s theme. There’s a genuine sense of abandon here, as though every lyric is being lived in real time.
Inspired by a feeling of devotion so intense it could only be described in biblical terms, “Like Adam Would” captures the irrational, exhilarating tunnel vision that comes with falling completely under someone’s spell. It’s dramatic, messy, romantic and wonderfully unapologetic.
Bold, inventive and bursting with personality, “Like Adam Would” is further proof that Girl Apocrypha is carving out a lane entirely her own. A darkly addictive alt-pop gem that lingers long after the final note.
