North West London-based rising singer-songwriter Essence Martins continues to craft a sound that is distinctly her own, drawing inspiration from a blend of indie, folk, pop, and soul. As she prepares to release her sophomore EP early next year, she follows previous singles ‘Quiet and Perfect’ and the heartfelt ‘Salvation’s Forgotten Us’ with ‘Mrs. Right,’ out now.
‘Mrs. Right’ is an anthem for the emotional rollercoaster of dating. Inspired by a situationship, Essence’s ethereal tone captures a moment of vulnerability. Essence explains: “I wrote ‘Mrs. Right’ in August 2022 about a situationship with someone who ended up getting into a perfect relationship after me. I was in a time of my life where everyone around me was getting into relationships, so I was feeling petty about the fact that I wasn’t in one, and that right after me, this person got into what seemed like a great one with someone else. I felt like a kind of stepping stone or doormat that people could walk all over. This emotion lasted only a couple of days, but I got a song out of it!”.
