At the top of the year, Katy Kirby released her sophomore album Blue Raspberry, a more than worthy successor to her 2021 debut — it was our Album Of The Week. Today, Kirby is announcing a deluxe edition of Blue Raspberry that’ll be out this summer featuring two tracks that didn’t make the album. The first of those, “Headlights,” is out now.
“‘Headlights’ isn’t as open-hearted as any of the songs that ended up on Blue Raspberry,” Kirby shared in a statement. “We could call it an ode to the cumulative, low-level suffering that accompanies all human life. Or we could just say that it’s kind of a bratty little ballad about being fucking tired, you know?”
