The awaited Evil, Hate Filled Female by Delilah Bon is here! Whilst the artist finishes sewing her outfits for her upcoming tour, let’s jump into it. Review.
EVIL, HATE FILLED FEMALE – DELILAH BON
I was waiting for this one impatiently, and it serves! Delilah Bon’s Evil, Hate Filled Female is now here. Incredibly raw, brutal, and superbly produced by the artist herself, this record is as provocateur as it is right and as rap as it is metal. Indeed, it starts with the soft (it is) Hey World where the songwriter introduces herself, aware that, her work and what she is, will not please everybody – and that’s fine! But she also will not allow anyone to treat her like shit. It’s written in Maverick. Delilah Bon pushes the volume and saturation for the chorus riffs – and that’s where the richness of her influences becomes clearer.
Both a tad more pop and throatier, and as biting as ever, Evil, Hate Filled Female comes in, immediately followed by The Internet. All productions are smartly connected, making the album whole. We just want to dig deeper to understand its queer and feminist universe. Strong activist for LGBTQIA+’s rights, Delilah Bon sets the scene on fire and creates a safe and inclusive environment for her community. She aims to crush patriarchy and never see it rise again. Listening to her spotless flow on Finally See Me, I think she’s almost there. That we’re almost there. Her lyrics remind us that the road is still long and rough but not unreachable. Do you want another lesson in empowerment? I Am the Best (Just Ask Your Momma) and Villain, in different styles, are there, ready to bring it!
In recurring topics flowing from the record’s start to finish, there are relations between genders (My Girlz, Grown Ass Men), her identity (Freak Alter, Drop Dead Delilah), success (Volatile) and more serious topics such as sexual assaults (Epstein). Everything is in the name of that song, and each word and intention is heartbreaking. With a confident style, Delilah Bon carries on and transforms the negativity she’s received, mainly on the internet, into an almost indestructible creative strength. She closes this new record with the fun Committed A Crime, where she plays several roles – herself, trolls and detractors. With Evil, Hate Filled Female, Delilah Bon proposes a great album well set in its era. And that’s exactly the assertiveness we need right now!
Her Europe and UK tour is about to start. Don’t miss her out! More info here.
