Driven by a pulsing beat and wrapped in hazy atmosphere, ‘Shoulder to Shoulder’ is a slow-burning study in emotional distance. The second single from Saint Sappho’s debut album Between the Lines, the track examines the quiet unraveling of human connection, what happens when two people who once moved in sync begin to drift apart.

Young’s vocal enters detached and unguarded, floating through the verses with a deliberate restraint before snapping into something far more forceful. As the song builds, her voice cuts through gritty, ’90s-leaning guitars, with a searing solo adding tension and urgency.

Entirely self-produced, recorded, mixed, and performed by the duo, ‘Shoulder to Shoulder’ balances control with raw feeling. Its layered production never overstates its point, instead capturing the uneasy spaces that form within relationships when closeness gives way to distance.
