Miya Folick has shared a new single — the hopeful ballad “This Time Around”. It follows a previous triptych of singles for her upcoming album, Erotica Veronica: “Erotica“, “La Da Da“, and “Alaska“. This new one allows Folick to peer inward, finding hope and beauty as a soundtrack of tumbling indie rock illumination cascades alongside her atmospheric voice. It’s a stunner, especially later on when Meg Duffy rips through some truly affecting guitar solos. It makes me wonder whether boygenius needs one more member?
“Kate [Davis] and I wrote this in Brooklyn on the floor,” Folick shared to her Instagram page. “Just two guitars and a voice memo. I’ll share the demo eventually. We recorded this version in LA with the best band and engineer. I cried when I heard the final mix. I was walking along the beach in California but got so hyped I had to run. Sad songs do that to me. (warning: Meg’s [Duffy] solos are so heartbreaking it’s unbearable.) Whatever kind of holiday season you’re having, I hope this brings you some comfort. The song is meant to be hopeful.“
Listen to the song below.
Miya Folick’s new album, Erotica Veronica, is out Feb 28 via Nettwerk. You can preorder it here. Follow her on Facebook, X, and Instagram.
