Kate Bollinger Shares New Single 'Lady in the Darkest Hour'  Image

Rising Virginia-based musician, Kate Bollinger, recently announced her new EP, Look at it in the Light, out April 22nd via Ghostly International.

The new EP follows Bollinger's two previously independent EPs, impressive support dates with the likes of Jeff Tweedy, Faye Webster, Real Estate and more, and a very unexpected writing credit on Kanye West's 2021 track "Donda," which sampled Bollinger's 2019 song "Candy."

Bollinger previously released the EP's lead single "Who Am I But Someone," and today she shares another gorgeous taste of the forthcoming record. "Lady in the Darkest Hour" is the set's most luxuriant statement, with the strings recorded during a session at Matthew E. White's Spacebomb Studios with in-house arranger Trey Pollard (Natalie Prass, Helado Negro).

Here her lines ring bittersweet yet reassuring, uplifted by swells of golden-hued instrumentation. Searching for meaning ("Cause what I'd like to know / Is this it?"), Bollinger mirrors her subject in beaming delivery ("smile all sweet like it isn't sour"), curving the words atop the rhythm and melody.

Kate Bollinger will bring Look at it in the Light on the road this Spring, with tour dates through the U.S., Canada, the UK and Europe. Some dates will be in support of L'Impératrice, while the rest are headline shows. See below to find a show near you, and get your ticket here.
