Charlotte Sands is about to cause a ruckus. Ain’t that a “pity”?
The Nashville alt-pop artist and Massachusetts native unleashed a blitz of a new tune today (November 16), a swirling menace of mechanical mayhem that sets a noisy tone for her forthcoming debut album can we start over?, which hits in January.
“‘Pity’ is a song about meeting ‘the perfect person’ and wishing you could be more like them,” says Sands. “It’s about the feeling of jealousy and comparing yourself but also about the experience of being captivated by someone else’s existence. Making this song was such a fun experience, I wanted the production to feel like a high-energy show opener while the melody stayed simple and repetitive so everyone could scream the words together when we finally get to perform it live.”
And she’ll do just that for her first-ever headlining worldwide tour, which makes at a homecoming stop at Boston’s Paradise Rock Club on April 2.
“I am so excited to be announcing my very first worldwide headline tour and cannot wait to spend so much of next year with so many amazing people all over the world,” Sands adds. “I couldn’t be more proud of our team for being able to make this happen, especially as an independent artist in such a challenging industry with so many consistent obstacles. I’m confident that this tour and these shows are going to be unforgettable and are just the very beginning.I’m so grateful for everyone who is coming along for the ride.”
Crank “pity” to the high fucking heavens below.
