Early Praise for Precipice:

"Indigo De Souza brings unbridled enthusiasm even to situations she comes to regret. For ‘Heartthrob,’ De Souza kicks up the tempo and piles on the guitars.”

-The New York Times


"Indigo De Souza doesn’t miss.”

-Stereogum


"Jubilant and effervescent"

-Paste


“She's maintaining that heart wrenching passion that makes her intriguing as a singer, as a voice"

-The Needle Drop


“Powerful"

-UPROXX

Today, Indigo De Souza shares the single “Be Like The Water” from her forthcoming album, Precipice. The song, full of percussion and dazzling production, is a cathartic self-dialogue. “Be like the water is about being brave and protecting your energy,” says De Souza. “It’s about listening to your inner self and respecting your gut instinct. My favorite lyric in the song is ‘you can leave if you want to, and you don’t have to say why.’ Whether it’s leaving the room, leaving the conversation, or leaving a toxic relationship, you have the power to make a change and life is too precious to waste your spirit.” Watch the lyric video HERE


Precipice, which has been named one of the most anticipated albums of the summer by Pitchfork, NPRVulture and The AV Club. The album was announced recently with its propulsive singles “Heartthrob” and “Crying Over Nothing.” The album, due July 25th on Loma Vista Recordings, was made with Elliott Kozel, a musician who has produced and collaborated with the likes of SZA, Yves Tumor and FINNEAS. It finds the prolific and poetic singer-songwriter looking over the edge of a creative and spiritual cliff and leaping forward—taking control of difficult memories and charged emotions via pop bombast and diaristic clarity, and finding a stronger self.


This Friday, De Souza will kick off a brief run of US headline dates plus three nights with Lord Huron. Major North America touring in support of Precipice is plotted for the fall, plus festival appearances at Bumbershoot and Pitchfork Paris and London – tickets HERE. De Souza is partnering with PLUS1 and The Trevor Project on the upcoming fall tour. A dollar of each ticket sold will directly support The Trevor Project’s mission to end suicide among LGBTQ+ youth by providing life-saving and life-affirming resources, including 24/7 crisis intervention services, peer support, and advocacy for inclusive policies. All dates below.

With her arresting voice and profound honesty, De Souza’s music has always resonated deeply with fans and critics alike. But on Precipice she’s parlayed her secret skill for pop writing into something extraordinary - all of her idiosyncrasies combined with her melodic sensibilities offer up something new - mass appeal.


Indigo De Souza first gained notoriety on her sophomore album Any Shape You Take, which received Pitchfork’s Best New Album distinction, saying  “De Souza commits herself to being undone, to experiencing the terrible feelings and the beautiful ones. Even when she’s fucked-up, there is something ecstatic in her attempts at loving, her hunger to absorb all she can from life.” The success of the album propelled then-label Saddle Creek to re-release her debut album, I Love My Mom. In 2023 she released the Alex Farrar-produced follow-up, All of This Will End featuring the stand-out single “Younger And Dumber,” which The New York Times called “a slow-burning tear-jerker, a gradual accumulation of heartbreaking lines that takes flight in a soaring climax,” and earned her Best New Track from Pitchfork, showcasing what was always hiding in plain sight - her powerful pop writing capabilities. Music critic Ryan Dombal said of the song, its “honest-to-goodness power balladry. Think ’90s country-pop queen Faith Hill, but with a smaller budget and a bigger sense of inner turmoil. Soul-baring catharsis has its costs, and De Souza is unafraid, launching a flaming missile at the heart.” 


There are points in life where the precipice feels furthest from our control—something De Souza faced in late 2024, as Hurricane Helene ravaged the East Coast of the United States. Though her recently finished album showed the buoyant joy of change, De Souza’s flooded home and destroyed belongings represent its potential tragic side. When not in the thick of clearing the mess and helping her community recover, she continued to return to music as a comfort, already having written another album worth of breathtaking songs. Even when the void seems darkest, De Souza leaps boldly—and on Precipice she soars through wild, uncharted territory with open eyes, a full heart, and gritted teeth, finding new beauty even further beyond.
