NY-based alt-pop artist Sarah Kinsley has announced a new EP, Fleeting, due out February 13 via Verve Forecast/Fontana. It’s the follow-up to her very good 2024 debut LP Escaper, and she produced it with her friend and collaborator Jake Aron. “The Fleeting EP is a collection of music scoring my return to a long-lost sense of self,” she says. “It is a record honoring love and desire. A deep promise to change. It is a promise to yearn, to long, to feel deeply and truly, despite knowing everything is fleeting.”
The EP includes the title track, which she released last year, and she’s shared a second single, “Lonely Touch.” “‘Lonely Touch’ was written in one sitting after I watched the Luca Guadagnino film Queer,” she says. “It was inspired by a scene showing two lovers intertwining: their hands traveling under each other’s skin, moving through the body, feeling each other’s hearts. This song is an homage to the vulnerability of longing, of yearning for a kind of touch that is undeniable and terrifying. It is a song about true intimacy: wanting to feel the edges of another’s soul, becoming one in the dark together. It really only felt right to create a music video with dance and movement, and with the help of my dear friends New York choreographer Madi O’Halloran and director Chloë Vivian Gottlieb, we made a visual piece that truly embodies the song: one capturing closeness and raw touch between people.” Watch that below.
Sarah will be on tour this spring, including an NYC show at Brooklyn Steel on April 28 with Charlie Burg. See all dates below.
