Deborah Fitz smashes through the noise with her latest track, "The Puppet," and releases a raw, unadulterated soul serving. Recorded at small, stylish, and vibe-drenched Zero Hour Studios in Coleraine, Northern Ireland, this track doesn't want your attention; it demands it through every smoky note and heartfelt lyric. Deborah Fitz isn't another indie voice but a storyteller, a bringer of souls, and with "The Puppet," she shows that sometimes, the most potent strings are the ones we pull from inside.
Deborah plunges into deeper emotional waters with producer Michael at her side. The result is a blues-kissed slow-burner with haunting electric guitar riffs and an impossibly gripping bassline that doesn't just groove. Michael's thoughtful arrangement lends a gritty undercurrent to Fitz's powerhouse vocal melody, allowing it to soar, simmer, and sting.
But the production doesn't try to mask this behind bells and whistles. Instead, it honors the song's truth, allowing the sparseness between the notes to breathe. That imparts a lived-in quality to the track, like it's the song you've been hearing on the jukebox in some dive bar for years, yet smacks you in the face as if you're hearing it for the first time.
"The Puppet" seems like a confession muttered in hushed tones over a candlelit table. Fitz's voice is where the magic is earthy, wounded, and defiant. She sings as if she has lived every word, her delivery aching with the kind of vulnerability that can't be faked. It's the kind of performance that doesn't just sound good; it feels true. Despite having gigs spaced out in Northern Ireland shortly, fans will have the chance to hear Deborah perform this track live. And if "The Puppet" is any indication, her shows will be nothing short of cathartic. The thrill of an artist who isn't just performing a song but living it in real-time is electric.
