Singer-songwriter Sophie Jamieson has previewed her upcoming EP Release with a new single called ‘Concrete’. It arrives with a self-directed music video filmed on the roundabouts and roads of Stratford, Bow and Canning Town. Check it out below.
‘Concrete’ is described by a press release as “a neurotic imagining of her final tired, peaceful moments crawling along her local roundabout,” which ended with Jamieson getting knocked off her bike in that exact place shortly after. “When I was hit, I felt this intense relief as I flew through the air – the relief of being allowed to feel pain, having permission to cry, and a reason to be taken care of,” she explains. “It had a pretty serendipitous connection to the song I had already written, which is a song that fantasises about getting close to the ground – and being allowed to give up.”
Release, which was produced by Steph Marziano (Ex:Re, Hayley Williams, Denai Moore, Lazy Day), is set to arrive on December 1. It includes the previously released title track and ‘Forward’.
