Thank god for Weyes Blood. Launching into a new era a couple of weeks back, ‘It’s Not Just Me, It’s Everybody’ has been a solid soundtrack to the start of autumn. And now returning with a second single from her upcoming album, ‘Grapevine’ takes the mood and multiplies it. 

Doubling down on her signature cinematic sound, ‘Grapevine’ is sure to have you staring out of a car window feeling melancholic. Packed with string sections and heavenly harmonies,the track is described as an epic road song, set on Southern California’s Interstate 5. And sitting at over 5 minutes long, it really is a sonic adventure, inviting you to buckle up and coast along with her.

Doing donuts around the topics of love, loss and connection, Natalie Mering said of the track;Technology is harvesting our attention away from each other. We all have a “Grapevine” entwined around our past with unresolved wounds and pain. Being in love doesn’t necessarily mean being together. Why else do so many love songs yearn for a connection?” 

And ‘Grapevine’ is sure to top heartache, yearning playlists for a long time to come.

And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow arrives November 18th
