Following a bumper 2024 that saw her perform at Reading & Leeds Festival plus having her music feature on BBC 6Music’s Roundtable, Hull’s best loved spoken word fiend Jodie Langford (whose debut album’s out this summer) releases Put It Down – a highly relatable party track that asks us all to put away our phones at gigs & fully savour the moment.
With production duties supplied by steadfast ‘king of electro’ Endoflevelbaddie, the sound of Put It Down leans more towards punk in terms of attitude (still with a hint of rave mind you) & has been feverishly concocted in the studio to keep it fresh & not bloated with layers of over-produced sounds. Similar to her previous tracks Foefetti & Get The Shots In, Put It Down is decidedly light-hearted & a break from the more serious subject matter that Jodie’s explored with some of her music, like mental health & her perceptions of society.
“The song’s inspired by mine & Endoflevelbaddie‘s shared disdain of people filming an entire live performance on their phone” says Jodie “I pay good money to see a live act that I adore & the last thing I want is to view it through people’s phone screens. I love being fully involved at gigs & feeling that connection between you & the artists on stage. Getting your phone out for a long period of time is poor gig etiquette… & I’m short so that doesn’t help!”
