Arlo Parks has enlisted Phoebe Bridgers for her latest single ‘Pegasus’, taken from her forthcoming second album, ‘My Soft Machine’.The song, produced by Paul Epworth (Adele, Florence and the Machine), Brockhampton’s Romil Hemnani, and Baird, features Bridgers singing delicately within the chorus and the fourth verse.

The accompanying music video was directed by Bedroom at Compulsory Film.“’Pegasus’ is about experiencing the warmth and lightness of good love for the first time,” said Parks. “It also explores how the absence of chaos and the presence of real connection can be a little bit terrifying after a long time of not having it.”“The desert landscape has always had a special place in my heart, the scorched land, the dust, the sense of absence,” the singer explains about the accompanying video. “Films like Gerry, My Own Private Idaho and Paris, Texas all use the desert as its own character representing isolation, nostalgia and the journey to a place outside of yourself.

Bedroom did an incredible job of meshing surreal dreamscapes with real intimacy to make one of my favourite music videos I’ve ever made.”This is not the first time Parks and Bridgers have teamed up on a song.

Last year, the latter brought out Parks during her Glastonbury and Coachella sets to sing ‘Graceland Too’ and ‘I Know The End’.
