Sweet Pill today 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 slow burn,” 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.” “Slow Burn” follows additional singles “Glow” and “No Control.”
Sweet Pill’s headline tour in support of the album will begin on release day in Pittsburgh, PA, and also includes a hometown Philadelphia show on March 19th at Union Transfer, a March 20th show at Brooklyn, NY’s Warsaw, and an April 2nd show at Los Angeles, CA’s El Rey Theatre. A current itinerary is below.
Still There’s a Glow is a hard-fought document of self-reflection and growth–raw and real, and stacked with lyrical honesty. Written and recorded in the wake of a whirlwind three years following their 2022 debut LP, Where the Heart Is–and after scrapping essentially an entire album’s worth of demos–Still There’s a Glow is a dynamic, cathartic journey of making conscious change within oneself. “I went through some depression last spring, and then I went into therapy. It was also a big turning point in my life as I was about to turn 30, while I’d written our first record when I was graduating from college–that’s a big change,” Youssef explains. “I could’ve kept making bad choices because they’re easy, but I had to come clean to myself. Half the album was written before and the other half after, so the songs are kind of hard on myself but some are also hopeful, with a light at the end of the tunnel. You put out a fire, there’s still an ember that’s still glowing–that’s the record. It’s about being at a low and climbing out of it.”
