Winter – Without You
Today, Winter has shared “Without You,” the third single from her highly anticipated new album, Adult Romantix, due out August 22nd via her new label home Winspear.
The sparkly, percussive “Without You” harkens back to Samira Winter’s roots in Brazil, incorporating Portuguese lyrics throughout the verse. “This song is diving into that feeling of longing, of what we call in portuguese ‘saudades’” she shares. “It’s a word that is not translatable to English and describes a deep emotional state of nostalgic longing for something or someone that is absent, lost, or unattainable.”
Chronicling an emotional coast-to-coast move, she spent roughly two years writing songs in a transitory state: often in between tours, in different cities, and in various sublets. The follow-up to 2022’s landmark What Kind of Blue Are You?, and a goodbye love letter to her time in L.A., Winter describes Adult Romantix as “a tunnel of summers and memories,” inspired by romantic-period texts like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, as well as ‘90s rom-coms—indulging in heady melodrama and romantic and platonic longing, while also embracing a lighthearted, youthful innocence. The album was recorded and produced with longtime collaborator Joo Joo Ashworth (SASAMI, Corridor, Automatic) and mixed by Henry Stoehr (Slow Pulp).
Like her previous record which featured collaborators and tour mates Hatchie & SASAMI, the new record features Horse Jumper of Love on the instant classic “Misery,” Tanukichan on “Hide-A-Lullaby” and Alex G’s Samuel Acchione on the Grouper-esque “Running.”
