Sigrid announces new EP 'The Hype'

After recently returning to deliver her much-loved comeback single 'The Hype' earlier this year, her first piece of new material since last year's sophomore LP 'How To Let Go', Sigrid has now announced her plans for a new EP, arriving later this month.

The new four-track collection, also called 'The Hype', is being previewed by the new lead single 'Ghost', and is set to be released on the 27th October via Island Records.

Speaking about the new offering, she said, “For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a thing for everything that is catchy - especially melodies you just can’t get out of your head. It doesn't really matter what genre it is, as long as I wanna put it on repeat. No wonder I started making pop music! I’ve never really wanted to make one type of pop song, I just wanna write good songs. I’ve been writing and writing, and I felt like releasing one single this year just wasn’t enough, so I decided to put out an EP to show where I’m at now musically. I love the format: short and snappy, but enough time to showcase different sides to the songwriting, the story and the sound.

"On the Hype EP I’ve written about wondering if you really did live up to the expectations, messing up, getting over someone, and: you’ll be fine! and I hope these lyrics will give you comfort in reading them, and the melodies make you wanna put it on repeat.”
