Well-known for their enchanting slices of heaven, Ghostly Kisses called upon celebrated producer Oli Bayton (reputable for his work alongside Rachel Chinouriri, Olivia Dean, Barry Can’t Swim, and Yuné Pinku) for another unblemished display of other-worldly art. With Margaux Sauvé’s captivating vocals sitting at the forefront of the release, ‘Crimson’ delves into themes of individual rights and freedom, a message which holds momentous weight in today’s world. Held together with a percussive dreamscape speckled with orchestral elements, we are greeted with further glimpses of the upcoming album.

When asked about the inspiration behind the song, Margaux Sauvé, lead vocalist of Ghostly Kisses explained, ”’Crimson’ holds a special place for us within Darkroom, primarily due to the emotional depth of the themes it explores. Through the Box of Secrets, we received numerous revealing confessions of homosexuality, and the challenges individuals face in expressing or living their love due to familial or societal constraints. Crimson aims to be a broader reflection and claim on individual rights and freedom, also echoing events such as the tragic death of Mahsa Amini and the Iranian protest movement for women’s freedom.”

Ghostly Kisses sets the tone for anticipation with the debut of their latest single, ‘On & Off’ – a luminous pop masterpiece woven from the tumultuous fabric of inconsistent and complex love. Through evocative lyrics, Margaux delicately croons, “You’re so close but yet far / I always wonder how you are / From the morning’s light to the night’s embrace,” encapsulating the passion and intricacies of love and desire in her unparalleled style. Co-produced in collaboration with Oli Bayston (known for his work with Rachel Chinouriri and Olivia Dean), ‘On & Off’ showcases Margaux’s distinctive, enchanting vocals gliding over their most commercially appealing track to date.

Of the track, Margaux Sauvé said; “’On & Off’ depicts a complex and tumultuous cyclical relationship where two people constantly break off and get back together. The lyrics draw inspiration from a revelation in the ‘Box Of Secrets’ – which was the conceptual inspiration behind our new album Darkroom. These narratives have been gleaned from various stories within the Ghostly Kisses community. We looked to instil a sense of nostalgia into the rhythm, to pair ethereal vocals with a sense of yearning.”
