Indigo De Souza – Crying Over Nothing
Indigo De Souza shares “Crying Over Nothing,” a deceptively bouncy new single that arrives today alongside a video conceived by De Souza and directed by Kai Dickson, which shows De Souza surrendering to the elements in a cathartic rain-soaked performance.
“‘Crying Over Nothing’ is about heartbreak that feels beyond reason,” De Souza explains. “Pain that follows no matter where you go or how much you try to lose it. Pain that comes from memories you can’t erase and love you can’t unfeel. It’s about loss that is never-ending.”
As with so much great pop, De Souza transcends the giddy highs of new attraction and the haunted lows of a broken heart by inverting and subverting both, finding their points of connection rather than their differences. The thrumming synthpop of “Crying Over Nothing” exemplifies those new, glistening heights musically, even as the lyrics digest unimaginable heartbreak. De Souza skips over the coyly shuffling rhythm, her voice cracking into the upper register with a warm glow akin to the ‘80s synths.
Precipice was announced last month with a video for its propulsive lead single “Heartthrob.”
The album, due July 25th on Loma Vista Recordings, was made with Elliott Kozel, a musician who has produced and collaborated with the likes of SZA, Yves Tumor and FINNEAS. It finds the prolific and poetic singer-songwriter looking over the edge of a creative and spiritual cliff and leaping forward—taking control of difficult memories and charged emotions via pop bombast and diaristic clarity, and finding a stronger self.
De Souza is also announcing a headline run in the summer and fall in support of the album. De Souza is partnering with PLUS1 and The Trevor Project on the upcoming tour. A dollar of each ticket sold will directly support The Trevor Project’s mission to end suicide among LGBTQ+ youth by providing life-saving and life-affirming resources, including 24/7 crisis intervention services, peer support, and advocacy for inclusive policies.
