After informally announcing the project over a year ago, CHVRCHES vocalist Lauren Mayberry has shared that her solo debut, Vicious Creature, will arrive on December 6 via Island Records. To celebrate the news, Mayberry has unveiled a new single called “Crocodile Tears.” The disco-leaning party cut glows with triumphant synths and string swells. “You pick up the phone to start a chain reaction,” Mayberry sings, “Give you an inch, I’m slipping down the slope.”
“So much of this process has been an exercise in empowering myself to listen to my own intuition—something I really trained myself out of,” Mayberry said. “That’s ultimately why you start making things—because you felt a feeling, and you wanted to articulate that somehow. I think it was important for me to relearn that kind of independence, and recognize what I bring to any table I choose to sit at.”
