Indigo De Souza has announced her new album, Precipice, due out July 25th. As a preview, she’s shared the lead single, “Heartthrob,” alongside its accompanying video. Stream it below.
Precipice was made in close collaboration with Elliott Kozel (SZA, Yves Tumor, FINNEAS) and finds the singer-songwriter taking a creative and spiritual leap forward, as De Souza explained in a statement: “Life feels like always being on the edge of something without knowing what that something is. Music gives me ways to harness that feeling. Ways to push forward in new directions.”

“Heartthrob” embodies the nuances of this evolution. While the track features an uptempo drumbeat and soaring guitars, the song’s lyrics capture an experience of abuse: “He really tricked me, I let him touch me where he wanted/ Didn’t know the difference between loving and haunting.”

“I wrote ‘Heartthrob’ as a way to help process something that is often hard to talk about — the harmful ways I’ve been taken advantage of in my physical memory,” De Souza shared in a press statement. “‘Heartthrob’ is about harnessing anger, and turning it into something powerful and embodied. It’s about taking back my body and my experience. It’s a big fuck you to the abusers of the world. A sarcastic, angry cry for all bodies that have ever been touched in harmful ways.”
Precipice follows the excellent All of This Will End, one of the best albums released in 2023. Pre-orders are ongoing.
De Souza will embark on a string of US tour dates this summer, including a handful of shows with Lord Huron. See the schedule below, and get tickets here.
