Pillow Queens share new song ‘Hearts & Minds’ and album pre-order
After announcing their second album Leave The Light On and sharing a new song ‘Be By Your Side’ last month, Pillow Queens are back in a sharing mood.
‘Hearts & Minds’ is a new song from the album, arriving today with a video by Collective Films, to mark the album on pre-order on vinyl with bundles.
“‘Hearts & Minds’ is about experiencing the feeling of being a teenager again. The insecurities about body image and ability when it comes to being a musician that’s seeing themselves recorded and pictured, as well as commented on. It deals with the idea of imposter syndrome when it comes to an industry that favours the male form and the insecurity of not being able to be effortless with your movements.”
Pamela Connolly
Watch ‘Hearts & Minds’ here:
Leave The Light On will be released on Royal Mountain Records on April 1st.
