Indigo De Souza on Tour This Month, Shares New Single

Today, Indigo De Souza shares the single “Be Like The Water” from her forthcoming album, Precipice. The song, full of percussion and dazzling production, is a cathartic self-dialogue. “Be like the water is about being brave and protecting your energy,” says De Souza. “It’s about listening to your inner self and respecting your gut instinct. My favorite lyric in the song is ‘you can leave if you want to, and you don’t have to say why.’ Whether it’s leaving the room, leaving the conversation, or leaving a toxic relationship, you have the power to make a change and life is too precious to waste your spirit.”

This Friday, De Souza will kick off a brief run of US headline dates plus three nights with Lord Huron. Major North America touring in support of Precipice is plotted for the fall, plus festival appearances at Bumbershoot and Pitchfork Paris and London.

With her arresting voice and profound honesty, De Souza’s music has always resonated deeply with fans and critics alike. But on Precipice she’s parlayed her secret skill for pop writing into something extraordinary - all of her idiosyncrasies combined with her melodic sensibilities offer up something new - mass appeal.

Indigo De Souza first gained notoriety on her sophomore album Any Shape You Take, which received Pitchfork’s Best New Album distinction, saying “De Souza commits herself to being undone, to experiencing the terrible feelings and the beautiful ones. Even when she’s fucked-up, there is something ecstatic in her attempts at loving, her hunger to absorb all she can from life.”

The success of the album propelled then-label Saddle Creek to re-release her debut album, I Love My Mom. In 2023 she released the Alex Farrar-produced follow-up, All of This Will End featuring the stand-out single “Younger And Dumber,” which The New York Times called “a slow-burning tear-jerker, a gradual accumulation of heartbreaking lines that takes flight in a soaring climax,” and earned her Best New Track from Pitchfork, showcasing what was always hiding in plain sight - her powerful pop writing capabilities.

Music critic Ryan Dombal said of the song, its “honest-to-goodness power balladry. Think ’90s country-pop queen Faith Hill, but with a smaller budget and a bigger sense of inner turmoil. Soul-baring catharsis has its costs, and De Souza is unafraid, launching a flaming missile at the heart.”
