Alex Amor unveils new song, "Inside"
Alex Amor has released "Inside", the final preview of her upcoming debut album, Heavenly Bodies.
"Inside" was originally written as a poem that producer Baz Kaye encouraged Amor to use in its entirety of. At nearly six minutes, the indie-pop number is described by Amor as "a sad-banger lullaby for loved ones gone too soon".
Speaking about the track, Amor adds: "It’s about coming to terms with compounded grief, generational trauma and taking a stark look at one of the coping mechanisms that defined much of my twenties: dissociation. Pulling away from connection altogether to avoid the pain of needing someone, missing someone, or losing someone. Part of love is accepting loss, making space for grief, and finding the courage to feel it all. It’s a song about connection, the choice to be vulnerable, and learning that the only way through grief is to let yourself feel it."
Heavenly Bodies is released on 22 August via VERO Music
