U.K. indie-pop artist Natalie Shay unveiled their new song "The Edge" yesterday.
The song arrives with a B-side titled "everything’s been happening," which can be heard below. Shay said this about both tracks, which revolve around how mental health can take a backseat to accomplish one’s dreams:
"I am guilty of this myself, a lot of my mental health, personality and entire identity are completely wrapped up in my work. This is the same for a lot of creatives and people with a dream or goal from a young age in general. On realising that these goals may not happen the way you’d always planned, or realising things are going to be much harder than you ever expected, this can cause trouble for some people who lack the courage. I think me and my friend are guilty of this, and subsequently this triggered the downfall."
On March 3, Shay will have a headlining performance at London’s Omeara. This will be followed by the artist’s first time in the United States as part of the SXSW Festival.
