The track comes alongside the release of the artist’s debut EP Darling I Saw The Way You Looked At Me Tonight
A more subdued and thoughtful release from an artist that has grown known for her vibrant and forward-thinking brand of modern alternative pop, latest Girl Next Door single ‘Causeway’ is a track that is built on subtlety and charm to create a melancholy and sobering end to her celebrated new EP Darling I Saw The Way You Looked At Me Tonight.
The track showcases the most intimate side of the artist’s sound, wrought full of vulnerability and softness as she explores the other side of the hedonism and carefree nature of the previous tracks on the EP. The soundscape is packed full of these musically rich and captivating, atmospheric moments that create this aura of tranquillity and thoughtful introspection, exploring a relationship breaking down and everything slowly shattering and falling apart in rousing fashion.
Speaking about the lead single, Sarah explains: “As the final track on an EP which explores hedonism and early adulthood, I wanted it to feel like the morning after a night out, sort of like the EP’s ‘come down’, by layering lots of soothing harmonies and rain sounds. The track’s an expression of how unbearable it can feel when you take space in a relationship. The ‘causeway’ represents breaking down somewhere you know you can’t stay for too long, trapped in the space between together and apart, as a causeway will disappear when the water rises.”
