Snow Patrol Premiere New Single “Empress”
On May 25th, Snow Patrol will return with Wildness, which finds the band searching for clarity, connection, and meaning, while staying true to the melodic songwriting prowess that brought them to prominence. Wildness taps into something raw and primitive. Lead-singer and songwriter Gary Lightbody says of the album: “There are many types of wildness, but I think it can be distilled into two: the wildness of the modern age, all its confusion, illogic and alienation and a more ancient wildness. Something primal, alive and beautiful that speaks to our true connectivity, our passion, our love, our communion with nature and each other. This is the kind of wildness the album is centered around. The loss of it. Trying to reconnect with it. To remember it.” Watch the album trailer for Snow Patrol’s Wildness here.
NYC pop singer, Giselle
While the song has a catchy beat, the lyrics tell a dark, honest story of misguided advice Giselle had received from a close family member when she was just a young child, providing a stark contrast to childhood innocence and a juxtaposition between how one treats family vs how he treats women. The video alternates between scenes set in Giselle’s youth, and scenes of Giselle reflecting upon how appalling the advice (and lifestyle), in fact, was.
