Getting lost to the music is practically guaranteed." - MXDWN North London indie-pop singer-songwriter Natalie Shay returns with a new single entitled "The Edge," out today via all DSPs. The track is about the painful breakdown and complete blow up of Shay’s friendship with her best friend. The songwriter confides, "This is one of my favourite songs I’ve ever released, and as the feelings are still very raw, I’m hoping to find closure in this." Alongside its B-side "everything’s been happening," the two tracks tell the story of how, once you finally come out of something that had grown bad for you, you reflect and realise so many cracks showed long before you accepted that as the case. Shay reveals, "Despite missing her and the good parts of the friendship so much, I know in order to still respect myself, I have to honour the power of an apology, and in this case, the lack of one." Both tracks voice the understanding of the power that someone's dream can hold over their well-being and happiness. Shay admits, "I am guilty of this myself, a lot of my mental health, personality and entire identity are completely wrapped up in my work." She continues, "This is the same for a lot of creatives and people with a dream or goal from a young age in general. On realising that these goals may not happen the way you’d always planned, or realising things are going to be much harder than you ever expected, this can cause trouble for some people who lack the courage. I think me and my friend are guilty of this, and subsequently this triggered the downfall." Staying true to her irresistible indie pop sound, "The Edge" shines with kaleidoscopic synths, a contagious beat and energetic melodies. Despite the song’s melancholy theme, sonically it’s the ultimate get up and dance track, allowing you to lose yourself in the music. "The Edge" made its official on-air debut on BBC Radio 1's Future Pop on Thursday, January 19. Listen to the show HERE.
