Kingsbury is sharing the EP’s first single, also titled ‘Shock Treatment,’ a euphoric release reminiscent of Robyn’s ‘Dancing on My Own.’ Bursting with alluring 80’s synth and irresistibly danceable, feel-good energy, ‘Shock Treatment’ blends infectious pop with sharp social commentary—one of Kingsbury’s greatest strengths. Over the pulsing beat, she declares, “I really need to move somebody tonight…even if it’s fake love just for an hour or two.” In a time of increasing political uncertainty, ‘Shock Treatment’ arrives as a defiant anthem, embracing joy as a radical act.

While on tour with Pom Pom Squad this past March, Kingsbury waved the Transgender Pride Flag and reminded audiences: “It’s now more important than ever for us to be together, experiencing queer joy.” That spirit pulses through Shock Treatment, and it’s a message she’ll carry across the country this summer.

‘Take My Phone Away’ is a captivatingly relatable tune about queer heartbreak. True to her signature 80s pop sound, the track is driven by big drums, Kingbury’s textured vocals, and sprinkled with synth.”Waiting by the phone, waiting for a sign that the pain you just experienced isn’t real. Drowning your pain in distraction. Did love ever live with you? Was it all a dream?” These are the musings Caroline unpacks on this record, as evidenced by lyrics like “I don’t want to be better / If better means I am living without you.”

“I was lucky enough to write this song with Justin Tranter and Ryland Blackinton,” she continues, “in a period of time when heartbreak was really fresh for me and we took it all and put it into a perfect pop song. Can someone PLEASE take my phone away?”
