The Joy Formidable are today sharing a brand-new single, "Into The Blue." It is the band's first new material since their kaleidoscopic 2018 album AAARTH.
Written in North Wales and later completed at their homes in Utah, "Into The Blue" arrives self-assured and forthright, in a world still trying to regain its footing, stalked by the specters of manipulation, mis-information, and trepidation. For The Joy Formidable, "Into The Blue" has come to symbolize a period in which anything felt possible. The world stands in a fine balancing act where no bad deed can shock anymore, yet good things can still happen. It is this second side of the coin that brings a resilient, more ethereal quality and magic to "Into The Blue", as the band embraces a growth mindset, leaning into the idea that uncertainty needn't be something to fear. As lead singer and guitarist Ritzy Bryan sings "You see me for what I am, I don't have to guess any more", a great strength is found in turning feelings of being unaccepted and misunderstood into self-love and connection. We find them abandoning the idea of safety and security from the wider world, and instead searching for it within, happy to be surprised by life again.Listen here:
