Sigrid Announces New EP ‘The Hype’ And Shares New Single ‘Ghost’
The star has co-produced the upcoming record
Sigrid has announced details of a new EP, The Hype, and shared the second track from it in “Ghost.”
Over an acoustic guitar, the Norwegian pop star laments herself for getting sentimental and promises: “Wherever you go, I’ll follow you home/I’ll always be your ghost/Look at me now, just a shadow/Of who I was.”
“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,” Sigrid said in a press statement. “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.”
She added: “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.”
The Hype EP, which was co-produced by Sigrid, will be released on October 27 via Island Records.
In August, the star shared the EP’s title track as her first piece of new music since the release of her second album How To Let Go. The expansive pop anthem asked the question: “Did I live up to the hype?” and encapsulated revelations on career and relationship successes.
The Hype EP tracklist:
1. The Hype
