Alt-pop newcomer Siobhán Winifred is back with a stunning new single, entitled ‘Sober’.
Through its introspective and meaningful lyrics, the track offers listeners a glimpse into Winifred’s thoughts on the complexities of relationships.
“I wrote ‘Sober’ about the conflicting emotions you experience when your relationship with someone is based on no attachment and no expectations. It’s about the constant push and pull, where every word and action can have a double meaning. Lyrically the song is about how, when you’re feeling lost, you attach your worth to their interest in you and do whatever you cannot to lose it. Sometimes despite all the warning signs that are there, it’s hard to resist the sense of self-protection and direction that comes from placing your sense of self in someone else’s interest in you: you know you need to let go but just don’t have the strength to. Ultimately, I like to think Sober is a very relatable song that captures the emotional conflict we experience when we find ourselves in a relationship with a inevitable expiration date.”
Inspired by the likes of Rufus Wainwright, Leonard Cohen and Alex Turner, Winifred’s music been featured on noted editorial playlists like Spotify’s New Music Friday and Fresh Finds. Tastemaker acclaim for the emerging Londoner also continues to grow, with recent support from BBC 6 Music, 1883 Magazine, Hot Press and more.
