Singer-songwriter Katie Malco has unveiled their new single “Fractures.”

The single comes equipped with a music video, which you can check out below. In the video, the singer finds themselves lounging around on the sofa watching TV. With the current coronavirus epidemic, the scene is all too familiar for many.

For the song itself, Malco states:

"Fractures is about coming face to face with a version of yourself you don’t even recognise, and growing into and understanding your true self and figuring out your own needs in life. My ex partner's girlfriend before me was an extremely beautiful, intelligent and, by all accounts, incredibly nice person. She was from the coast and she surfed, skated, hiked, climbed and she was a scientist.
I grew up in a rough midlands industrial town and didn't do that well in school, and I always had insecurities about my academic intelligence, so if my partner ever joked about gaps in my knowledge, I didn’t take it well. I just felt like other people seemed to find things easier than I did, like they were all surpassing me in their achievements, him included.
All of these things put such a massive strain on our relationship at the time and made me want to make myself into this person I thought he wanted. Someone exactly like his ex – graceful, clever, outdoorsy and good at everything. Someone I didn’t know or recognise in myself, and who just wasn’t me and wasn’t representative of my story up until then, which was a hard thing to explain to him."

Pre-orders for Malco’s debut album Fractures are available here. The record will arrive on June 5th via 6131 Records.
