Sweet Pill has released their Starchild EP via Hopeless Records. To accompany the four tracks, the act has included a 12-minute music video, which showcases each song as a different segment of the life of a young, feminine character. In total, their label debut leaves a saccharine taste with a touch of sadness in the mouth. “I don’t usually write self-deprecating lyrics,” vocalist Zayna Youssef explains. “I found myself feeling the fire in my chest when I would belt something straight forward like, ‘I hate her, that girl in the mirror.’ So I just followed it.
