TSHA has unveiled ‘Green’, the latest single to be taken from her highly anticipated forthcoming album Sad Girl, which is set for release on September 27 on Ninja Tune.
The track — another storming, club-ready single — sees TSHA debut her own vocals on a track for the first time. Explaining how it came together TSHA says: “Me and my partner were in the studio together, about to write something. He was getting on my nerves, and we ended up having a little argument, and I was like, ‘Can you get out of the studio?’ He left and I just started writing, feeling a bit blue, and It just came to me. I had this chord progression and a drum loop, and I wrote the first line [“I don’t know what they mean when they say things are green on the other side / I’ve lived a thousand lives in my 31 years, I’ve cried a million times”]. I ended up reproducing it a bit and adding in that funny little horn sound, and ultimately making it a dance track, because I wanted for people not to realise where it’s going. It’s quite a nice little surprise. ‘Cos I didn’t want it to sound depressing, even though the lyrics are.”
