Released today, London-based artist Gretel returns with her brilliant new single ‘Darkness Be My Friend’, out now via Breadcrumb Records/AWAL. From its gentle, understated opening, the track swells into a cathartic burst of towering pop melody and thunderous percussion. Sharing more detail she explains: “I wrote ‘Darkness Be My Friend’ the day before we went in to start re-recording my next project the new unfamiliar way – I was scared and didn’t know if I had what it takes. It was dark but it was exciting. Recording live in this way challenged me way more as a musician than before, and it’s given me a huge desire to go forward and get better and tricksier with it in future. I feel like I’ve only just been born.” Take a listen for yourselves below.
