Check out the tour dates and the music video for her new single, “Lonely Touch."
New York-based singer-songwriter and producer Sarah Kinsley will release her new EP, Fleeting, on February 13 via Verve Forecast/Fontana. The EP features the musician’s recent pop single of the same title, in addition to the new track “Lonely Touch,” out now.
In addition, a 30-date headline tour of North America and the UK/Ireland kicks off next Spring in Seattle on March 25th, with stops in New York, Los Angeles, and wrapping up at London KOKO’s on May 28th. Tickets are available HERE. Full tour listings can be found below.
The new EP also features a guest collaboration with British artist Paris Paloma on “After All,” Kinsley's first collaboration in the studio. Commenting on working with Sarah, Paris says “I’ve been a fan of Sarah’s for ages, and she’s been one of my top listened to artists for several years in a row, so when she asked me to collaborate I was so happy to work with her, and also to do something so swelling and emotive as this song ’after all,’ felt like a new direction for both of us, I’m incredibly excited for everyone to hear it.”
“‘Lonely Touch’ was written in one sitting after I watched the Luca Guadagnino film Queer," Kinsley said of the song. "It was inspired by a scene showing two lovers intertwining: their hands traveling under each other’s skin, moving through the body, feeling each other’s hearts.”
“This song is an homage to the vulnerability of longing, of yearning for a kind of touch that is undeniable and terrifying. It is a song about true intimacy: wanting to feel the edges of another's soul, becoming one in the dark together.”
“It really only felt right to create a music video with dance and movement, and with the help of my dear friends New York choreographer Madi O'Halloran and director Chloë Vivian Gottlieb, we made a visual piece that truly embodies the song: one capturing closeness and raw touch between people.”
The Fleeting EP is Kinsley's first body of music since the release of her acclaimed 2024 debut LP, Escaper, and was written in the back of cabs zipping across New York City and produced alongside friend and collaborator Jake Aron.
On the EP itself, Kinsley reflects, “The Fleeting EP is a collection of music scoring my return to a long lost sense of self. It is a record honouring love and desire. A deep promise to change. It is a promise to yearn, to long, to feel deeply and truly, despite knowing everything is fleeting.”
