Today, Indigo De Souza releases her anticipated new album, Precipice, via Loma Vista Recordings. Made with Elliott Kozel, a musician who has produced and collaborated with the likes of SZA, Yves Tumor and FINNEAS, the album finds the prolific and poetic singer-songwriter looking over the edge of a creative and spiritual cliff and leaping forward—taking control of difficult memories and charged emotions via pop bombast and diaristic clarity, and finding a stronger self. “Life feels like always being on the edge of something without knowing what that something is,” De Souza says. "Music gives me ways to harness that feeling. Ways to push forward in new directions.”
These new directions, which The New York Times said puts her “in unexpected conversation with stars like Lorde and Charli XCX,” can be seen on the album’s singles “Heartthrob,” “Crying Over Nothing,” and “Be Like The Water.” With her arresting voice and profound honesty, De Souza’s music has always resonated deeply with fans and critics alike. But on Precipice she’s parlayed her secret skill for pop writing into something extraordinary - all of her idiosyncrasies combined with her melodic sensibilities offer up something new - mass appeal.
There are points in life where the precipice feels furthest from our control—something De Souza faced in late 2024, as Hurricane Helene ravaged the East Coast of the United States. Though her recently finished album showed the buoyant joy of change, De Souza’s flooded home and destroyed belongings represent its potential tragic side. When not in the thick of clearing the mess and helping her community recover, she continued to return to music as a comfort, already having written another album worth of breathtaking songs. Even when the void seems darkest, De Souza leaps boldly—and on Precipice she soars through wild, uncharted territory with open eyes, a full heart, and gritted teeth, finding new beauty even further beyond.
North America touring in support of Precipice is plotted for the fall, plus festival appearances at Bumbershoot and Pitchfork Paris and London – tickets HERE. De Souza is partnering with PLUS1 and The Trevor Project on the upcoming fall tour.
