FIZZ remain the gift that keeps on giving as they drop rage pop banger ‘As Good As It Gets’. Giving Greta Isaac her time to shine, her screaming vocals power their biggest track yet.

Racing towards the release of their debut album in September, the band made up of dodie, Orla Gartland, Greta Isaac and Martin Luke Brown are getting better with every new tease. ‘As Good As It Gets’ is no exception, delivering a scathing takedown of bad boyfriends, catcallers and patriarchal figures telling you to smile. Screaming “is this as good as it gets?”, we already know this one goes off live.

Bring Dodie, Orla, Greta and their sound engineer Soren together, all huddled round the mic, you can feel the unity on the record. Talking about the experience the band said: “As we were writing this song, it became clear that this song stemmed from the experience of womanhood and femininity and so Martin felt it was right to pull back from singing and give us the space we needed to fully realise the song. 

We felt unified in our experience when we sang this together, four women around a mic…Singing this felt like opening a valve after years of built up pressure and tension; it was cathartic and healing.”

As another taster of things to come on the record, The Secret To Life is easily one of our most highly anticipated releases of the year, arriving September 15th.
