Little Egret has burst onto the scene with their debut single, “The Balance”, and let me tell you, it’s a breath of fresh air. After wowing crowds at renowned venues like the Bedford and Amersham Arms, and even selling out Servant Jazz Quarters, this band is ready to make their mark.
From the get-go, “The Balance” grabs your attention with its slick drum groove, setting the stage for what’s to come. As the track unfolds, you’re treated to a vibrant arrangement filled with gorgeous guitar tones that fill the air with warmth.

What sets “The Balance” apart is its charming attitude and unique sound. Little Egret isn’t afraid to blend genres and experiment with their music, and it pays off big time. You can feel the energy and enthusiasm radiating from every note, signaling a bright future for this talented band.
But what’s the story behind the track? Little Egret sheds some light, explaining that the song was inspired by a night out with their boyfriend and friends, where they were playfully teased for being “too couple-y and in love”. This sentiment of wanting to express emotions freely, despite societal norms, is beautifully captured in the lyrics and music.
Musically, “The Balance” is a fusion of early noughties rock with modern synth-jazz influences. From Motown-inspired drum beats to hotwired guitar riffs and synth whooshes, the band creates a dynamic sonic landscape that keeps you hooked from start to finish. And let’s not forget the playful samples of laughter and banter from their writing sessions, adding an extra layer of fun to the track.
In a world where conformity often reigns supreme, Little Egret is a refreshing reminder to embrace authenticity and have a little fun along the way. “The Balance” is out now, and trust me, you don’t want to miss it. Give it a listen and let yourself get swept away by the infectious energy of Little Egret.
