Indie Pop Band Pale Waves Drop Their Latest Single "She's My Religion"
/
British indie-pop band Pale Waves have released their newest single “She’s My Religion” – A love letter that sees frontwoman Heather Baron-Gracie embracing her sexuality and stepping into her own to become the artist she didn’t see in music when she was growing up.
“She’s My Religion” follows lead single “Change,” a catchy, retro-guitar track made up of stories of heartbreak from Heather’s friends, reflecting the different moods and emotions that we all go through.
“Who Am I?” – the follow-up to the band’s 2018 debut album “My Mind Makes Noises”, which amassed over 70 million streams worldwide, opens up a bold new chapter for Pale Waves, and is due for release on February 21st, 2021. Heather’s songwriting holds the last few years of her life up to the light, reflecting on her own mental health and growing pains – depression, distraction, and feelings of darkness – but also her experience of falling in love and becoming more open about her sexuality, emerging with a newfound clarity and optimism.
“Who Am I?” acts as the Pale Waves manifesto, inspiring inclusivity, self-discovery, and the notion of being whoever the hell you want to be. On the making of the album, Heather says “for me, music and art is for people not to feel so alone and isolated. I want to be that person my fans look up to and find comfort in.”
“Who Am I?” was recorded primarily in Los Angeles alongside producer Rich Costey (Muse, Foo Fighters, Sigur Rós), before the Coronavirus lockdown forced the making of the album to go virtual, with Heather remaining in LA and the rest of the band returning home to record their parts in their bedrooms, sending them back to LA to be added into the record.
