Indigo De Souza has shared a new single called “Heartthrob” and announced a new album it will appear on: Precipice. The songwriter’s fourth LP will arrive on July 25 via her new label home of Loma Vista Recordings. The new-wave-leaning single begins with a pulsing drum groove and melting guitar melody that interacts with shimmering synths. “He really tricked me / I let him touch me where he wanted,” De Souza sings.
De Souza expanded upon the lyrics in a press statement: “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. ‘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.”
