about

Doormat Darling is the perfect introduction to her refined soundscape. Led by her timeless, honeyed vocal, Imogen harmoniously ensnares your consciousness, conjuring the same sensation as the first time you heard Amy Winehouse. Delivered with the same tenacity as R&B household names through the decades and syphoned through a contemporary production that runs the length between heady trip-hop laced electronica and dreamy 60s pop, Doormat Darling is a truly standout debut from a gifted artist.

Speaking to the motivation behind Doormat Darling, Imogen shares:
It's me realising that I am an emotional person and I am growing comfortable expressing that - without the fear of judgment from other people. I am who I am, whether it's ugly or not. This song plays with the constraints of pushing and pulling, of restricting myself and releasing myself into freedom

lyrics

There’s not a time
I didn’t care
You said the guilt
Pushed you away
But you don’t see
I’m not mean
I wear my heart on my sleeve

You had you games
Threw me away
Then knock on my door
Beg me to stay
But I cannot change
Who I am
I wear my heart on my sleeve

So I put on my mod dress
Playing the old tunes you love best
Tell you I love you
Tell you the tears are true
But where are you
Where are you
My mind is overcrowded I can’t find your eyes
It’s no surprise

You runaway when I cry
You runaway when I cry
You runaway when I cry
I’m a doll on your doormat darling

You save - I’m weak
Twisting my thoughts
Turning my voice
Burning my resources
Now I blind
You’re my mind
I do what you say my darling

I’m falling so far
Powder into dust
Please don’t bury us
Don’t scatter my home
