Allie X has today shared her new album, 'Cape God', inspired by the HBO documentary 'Heroin: Cape Cod, US' and her own experience of battling debilitating childhood illnesses.
About the new album, Allie says: "I was waiting for the right moment and place and maturity level where I could comfortably and accurately put these feelings into song. This sort of margin in time and space helped me dive in and explore some repressed childhood feelings."
Clairo has stealthily shared a new song, titled 'february 15, 2020 london, uk (demo)', in which she confides about the difficulties of opening up to a romantic interest.
Lyrics below:
"sworn to secrecy
knew it wouldn’t happen for me
i fend off other people
who try to get in, who try to see
learned from my mistakes,
or at least think i have
underestimated
los angeles
underestimated
what i’d see in you
Completing a perfect trio of introductory releases, Gracie Abrams has today followed up last year's 'Stay' and 'Mean It' with the bop that is '21' (co-written with and produced by Joel Little), in which she relatably admonishes "just because you're hurting doesn't mean that I'm not" and continues to do what she does best - transform hard feelings into hugs in song-form.
