Sweet Pill have shared their driving new single, Slow Burn, from their forthcoming new album Still There’s A Glow.
Out now alongside an OD Blank-directed video, the song sees singer Zayna Youssef wrestling with anxiety and overthinking. “I kept seeing a cigarette and how every slow drag fills you up with literal death, but the exhale feels so good–the irony of how something that feels good is so bad for you. There are countless things in my life I take a deeeep, slow drag from that really don’t benefit me, these habits have a short term satisfaction but the long term effect can be just one big slowburn,” she explains.
“The song and video explore anxiety disguised as cameras and their constant surveillance. A snapshot into the mind of someone who overthinks to the point of ‘seeing things’ that may not even be there. Whether I am battling confidence or bad habits, overthinking can be so habitual. It kind of traps you in this circular purgatory which you find me running in and out of.”
