Kyla La Grange has returned with news of her first album in seven years.
The follow-up to 2014's 'Cut Your Teeth' is called 'While Your Heart's Still Beating' and will arrive on January 21.
As a preview, the singer-songwriter has shared the record's wistful first single, Neverland, a pulsating alt-pop track. Press play below, alongside the LP's artwork and tracklist. Commenting on it, she said:
"Neverland is inspired by all the people I know who don’t want to grow up, and the magic of playfulness, of making every night something to remember, of old friends and new friends and keeping your imagination burning, of holding onto silliness and spontaneity and all the things that make life feel electric and extraordinary.
"I wrote it when I was feeling really shit about myself and questioning a lot of things, and was just so lucky that I had friends who could pull me out of it, who could make me laugh, even at the darkest and most terrifying parts of being alive. I guess in a way it’s a tribute to the ones who keep your blood pumping and hold your hair back, to the fact that for many people their friendships will outlive their romantic relationships.
"For the last 6 years I’ve been hosting costume parties with a bunch of friends and the outfits and creativity and experimentation and the uninhibited joy and weirdness and celebration has filled my heart up with so much happiness that if I dropped dead tomorrow I would think, ‘yeah, that was a good way to spend a life.’ That’s what it’s all about, for me. I just don’t want to look back and think I didn’t make the most of anything."
