The Exiles

Reclaimed

‘The Only Poster Child’ encapsulates the band’s musical identity with an infectious melody allied to a propulsive groove infused with calypso and hi-life. Imagine a collaboration between The Smiths and Fela Kuti - the result would sound something like this. The lyrics illustrate Roye’s talent for astute social observation, following the story of a teenager caught between an alien adult world 'Conform to the uniform/Clothes make the man but the man ain't me/And it fits so tightly', and the allure of making easy money through dealing, 'Out on the streets I make a minute/won't you put a whole month in/ That's what he's telling me...' Insightful commentary is set against an irresistible melody - announcing the arrival of an emerging talent and a promising and fresh musical voice.
