Pinkshift have shared their latest single, “in a breath,” which will be featured on their debut album, Love Me Forever, due out October 21 via Hopeless Records.
Pinkshift engulfs listeners in a world of pop-punk meshed with the ’90s-era grunge, while “in a breath” is a soft ballad displaying Pinkshift’s passionate vocals, creating a a sense of vulnerability.
“‘In a breath’ is from my heart. It’s a song I’ve held on to for years. It’s a dive into my core, my greatest hopes, desires, loneliness, traumas, and fears. It’s a song about feeling dissociated from my body and fighting to stay alive despite it,” says Kumar about the track. “It explores the existence of an impossible reality, contemplates the existence of a god, and contemplates our capacity to love and be loved. It’s about guilt, shame, redemption, and acceptance.”
The video for “in a breath” is directed by Sunny Singh (aka hate5six,) “Capturing the authenticity of a live performance is what I’ve always been drawn to. It’s the space I’m most interested in exploring and refining. It’s also the reason why I’ve turned down every offer to do a choreographed and scripted music video,” says Singh about the video. “With “in a breath,” I set out to create something that would allow me to render their live performance into something cinematically organic.”
