Honey Gentry (ˈhʌni ˈʤɛntri) is an independent artist from London, UK. Creating baroque pop for introverts, Honey’s work explores themes including escapism, dreams, and mythology. Entirely self-produced and recorded from the comfort of her bedroom, the artist manages to capture a free, honest and totally personal experience with her DIY, homemade music.
Finding influence in the likes of artists such as Mazzy Star, Tori Amos and Lana Del Rey, Honey is inspired by musicians who would turn deeply personal and private experiences of teenage girlhood and young womanhood, into something intensely human and real.
Her latest single “Under Taurus” began as an ode to the poem of the same name by Louise Glück, which Honey first came across just before the poet won the Nobel Prize in Literature. The songwriter shares, “It reminded me of when I was a child in the countryside with my dad and he would wake me up on a clear night and we’d go outside and spot shooting stars. We’re always talking about space. But then as you get older, you lose your childlike ability to say things how you see them; because it makes another person happier if you see what they see. So the song was born out of that feeling of moulding yourself into another person’s desires in order to make them happy.”
Sonically, the single shimmers with dreamy, echoing synths, layered vocals and a delicate piano line, delivering an overall celestial quality.
“Under Taurus” is off of Honey’s upcoming EP, where listeners will find Space as a common theme throughout. She confides, “I think because that’s my preferred method of looking outward rather than inward; forwards instead of backwards.”
