Following the release of her first EP, She, in 2020, FAYYE releases her new single, ‘Places’, today. Written and produced in collaboration with Ian Barter (Izzy Bizu, Paloma Faith), the song takes inspiration from the final scene in 90s cult film, Thelma and Louise. Over laid-back, nostalgic melodies, FAYYE tells the story of two people driving away from their hometown, leaving it in the rearview as they venture towards something new – summer wind in their hair.

Swiftly following ‘Blind Faith’ in May 2022, ‘Places’ is the second single to be released in the run-up to FAYYE’s upcoming EP, Rise, due to come out towards the end of the year.

Written in 2020, with the world on pause, ‘Blind Faith’ celebrates hope and excitement for the future. In contrast to a time when many were confined to their homes, the track yearns for freedom in the outdoors and evokes a sense of limitlessness. Sonic elements of alternative pop fuse with dreamy, chilled pop melodies to tell the story of a woman walking alone through city streets at night to the chatter of crowds and hum of traffic. As she walks, she decides it’s time to start following her own, independent path, listen to her own intuition and trust ‘Blind Faith’.

This is the first in a series of tracks due for release this summer, all of which play on the theme of ‘starting anew’. In FAYYE’s own words, “the track reflects and celebrates the sense of self-worth and confidence I re-discovered in my late-twenties. I hope it can provide my listeners with an uplifting sense of joy, confidence and freedom.”
