10 January 2023, 14:19 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Ahead of releasing her debut album Other Words Fail Me this Friday (13 January), WILDES has unveiled a new track titled "True Love (Make Me Believe)", which features The Flaming Lips.

"True Love (Make Me Believe)" will appear on WILDES' debut album with last year's "Flames", "Far and Wide", "Lightly" and "Woman in Love" singles, and is a collaboration with The Flaming Lips.

WILDES says of the song, "This past year has been full of pinch-me moments, but today, releasing "True Love" feat. The Flaming Lips is certainly one of the biggest. I wanted to add this final song to the album as an ode to self love and radical acceptance of yourself, no matter who you are, or what you have experienced. Never in a million years would I have believed The Flaming Lips would be the band to help bring this song to life - so thank you to the band, for bringing vivid technicolour to this rainbow of a song."

She adds of her debut album title, "It was a name I'd had for quite a while in my head, but the album really grew into the name - it became a lot more symbolic than I ever intended, as writing this album was the only way I could safely and honestly talk about what was going on at the time. I quite literally didn't have any other words to describe it other than the lyrics in these songs."

"True Love (Make Me Believe)" featuring The Flaming Lips is out now. WILDES' debut album Other Words Fail Me will follow this Friday (13 January) via AWAL, and is available to pre-order now.
