Sigrid has shared details of a new EP.
'The Hype' will arrive through Island Records on October 27 and comprises four songs, including the recently released title track and a new song titled Ghost, which finds the Norwegian artist lamenting a lost love over acoustic guitar. Commenting on the project, she said:
"For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a thing for everything that is catchy - especially melodies you just can’t get out of your head. It doesn't really matter what genre it is, as long as I wanna put it on repeat. No wonder I started making pop music! I’ve never really wanted to make one type of pop song, I just wanna write good songs. I’ve been writing and writing, and I felt like releasing one single this year just wasn’t enough, so I decided to put out an EP to show where I’m at now musically. I love the format: short and snappy, but enough time to showcase different sides to the songwriting, the story and the sound.
"On 'The Hype' EP I’ve written about wondering if you really did live up to the expectations, messing up, getting over someone, and: you’ll be fine! and I hope these lyrics will give you comfort in reading them, and the melodies make you wanna put it on repeat:)."
Co-produced by Sigrid, the release will also include the songs Borderline and Wanted It To Be You. It follows her second album, 'How To Let Go', which was released in 2022.
Sigrid will kick off a series of shows across her native Norway later in October. Head here for details.
