Pale Waves deal in rejection on dreamy new single ‘Gravity’

Pale Waves have shared a new single ‘Gravity — check it out below.The song serves as the third preview of the Manchester band’s fourth album ‘Smitten’, which is due for release on September 20 via Dirty Hit (pre-order/pre-save here).Built around bright, dreamy guitar strums, ‘Gravity”s optimistic soundscape contradicts the moodier lyrics, which outline the torment of being dragged in different directions by a lover who can’t choose between their relationship or their religion: “She’s pulling me like gravity everywhere she goes / Am I in too deep, or out of my reach?” frontwoman Heather Baron-Gracie sings.Speaking on the track, Baron-Gracie said: “Gravity is about a woman who chose Jesus over me. It took the longest of all of the songs on the album to finish, I think we must have rewritten it millions of times to get it to where it is now.”Check it out below.Pale Waves recently announced a UK headline tour for this autumn, including a gig at Here at Outernet in London.
