British pop talent Childe marks his return with a beautifully captivating new single, called ‘Death Wish’.

Over a stripped-back yet thoughtfully constructed production, the song presents listeners with powerful lyricism that is all about being loved – even when you don’t deserve it.

“I’m talking about love and despair, powerlessness, being manipulated and understanding how to stop that, looking for God, getting high, nostalgia, and grief.”

Since his initial debut back in 2020, Childe has grown to become one of the UK’s most exciting new pop names, and currently commands more than 230k monthly Spotify listeners.

Fans can catch the artist on tour across the UK and Germany from this month – dates are listed below.

Childe – Two Thirds

British talent Childe returns today with a song that lays bare his feelings towards his father; a truly finessed slice of dark electronic pop, filled with intensity and emotion.

“‘Two Thirds’ is a song I tried to write for ages. It’s about going into reverse. It’s quite nostalgic grief, so there’s comfort in it. I started it in my bedroom so there are a bunch of distorted vocals in there recorded on a 58. Then we recorded it in LA in January just before COVID stopped the world. We wanted the song to grow the whole way through, so by the end it’s totally massive – sirens and all.”

New Music: Childe

A chilled and refined approach to indie electro pop from a new English talent and former BRIT school alum.

“It’s about loneliness and feeling isolated in a busy world. Fake friends and false conversations. I need to make sure I’m around the people who know me best or I can really lose it.”
