You like really intense lyrics about post-breakup epiphanies? Well, here's one for you: "You thank me for a good year and go/ And you say it like you have to leave/ You're sorry for the good parts, as well as what you really did wrong/ But it's all the same to me." Those are the opening lines from the British-born, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Fenne Lily's new song "Thank You Sorry." She gets right to it!
Fenne Lily's new album Win Win is coming out this fall, and you will not be shocked to learn that she recorded it in the wake of a nasty breakup. We already posted lead single "Uh Huh," and now she follow it with "Thank You Sorry" a very pretty song with some very bracing lyrics, delivered with an almost affectless shrug. In a press release, Lily says, "Broken up with over the phone on Independence Day, I was told everything but the truth. This song is the truth; that I became an unwanted guest in a relationship, that I was treated like I meant nothing. I made something out of being nothing to someone." The Sage Szkabarnicki-Stuart-directed video visually quotes from Lily's album cover. Check it out below.
Win Win is out 10/23 on Nettwerk.
