Later, she seems to break this silence, with reverb-laden vocals urging, “Give another trust.” Through lyrics that articulate an ever-present threat of abandonment (“Teach me you’ll ditch us”), Darcieexplores the vulnerability inherent in the act of trusting and weighs the merits of choosing to do so anyway. “The silence we create is a violent mistake,” Porter sings, backed by ominous synths. ![]() The result remains warm and enveloping, with her voice floating over heavy, insistent percussion. “Silence” builds on the soulful sound of Porter’s previous work and carries it to a slightly darker, more pensive place. Aspects of Porter’s self-professed influences (the lush arrangements of Rex Orange County and understated vocals of Billie Eilish) can be heard at times, but Darcie is all her own. Singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Zigi Porter writes dreamy lo-fi pop songs under the moniker Darcie.The Manchester, UK-based artist has carved out a distinctive sound with quirky lyricism and a boldly experimental production style. A visualizer has been released to accompany the track, depicting the band members in front of a background that hypnotically fades between soft colors. In these moments it feels like the instrument is mocking the cerebral mind for thinking it has control over its feelings-inviting the singer to take a risk and give themselves over to the passion. When the singer questions themselves, “how close do I want to be to it?”, “how much do I want to be part of it?”, the staccato guitar mirrors the melody. This thesis is cleverly driven home in the interplay between the vocal and guitar during the verses. The prevailing sentiment is a call to live life and a confidence that the rewards of love make worthwhile the heartache that can come with it. The band has referred to “Heart of Mine” as, “one of our most honest and candid love songs.” A central theme of the track is the cognitive dissonance between self-preservation and openness that goes hand in hand with passionate love. Expertly blended into the bright sound are elements of trepidation and vulnerability. I won’t.Opening with a burst of synth and an enticing guitar lick, “Heart of Mine," the new single from All We Are,ensnares the listener in its groove right from the jump and never lets go. And again, this is just my experience where I’m at, even though, despite what I may be going through, there’s going to be a moment where this bad moment, I won’t even be around to even discuss it. Don’t let it get confused that five minutes later, we’re going to try to go into doing something different. And again, it’s not like life is pleasurable every single day, but I think I have actively just sought out… How do I create a space for myself? How do I redirect my mind on how I’m thinking about things? How do I realize that right now in this present moment, moments that we’ll never get back, this is where you need to find your pleasure? This is your moment. The Age of Pleasure is that… Listen, I’ve had my age of depression. “I’m super excited about with The Age of Pleasure.

I have lipstick all over my face.” And I’ve also been the ‘Lipstick Lover’ where…You know exactly who I kissed.” ![]() Or I’ll get home and I’m like, “Oh my God. And then I’ve also been on the receiving end of a human… who’s so attractive…. But when the lights come on, whoever I’ve made out with, lipstick all over their face. And there have been so many instances where I’ve made out with somebody at a party and it’s dark. “Because if you know me… Today, I don’t have on any red lipstick, but I’m always in red lipstick. I’m like, ‘Why didn’t I write this song years ago?'” explained the 37-year-old to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, where they premiered the single. The visual highlights the beauty of queer love and community through sexy displays of physical touch and affection, colorful dancing, and shared cigars. ![]() Released on Thursday (May 11), the Reggae-infused track comes with an NSFW official motion picture, co-directed by the 37-year-old and Alan Ferguson. Janelle Monáe is sensual and sure in her newest video “Lipstick Lover.”
