illuminati hotties, aka producer extraordinaire Sarah Tudzin, shared her breezy, indie rock-infused new single, “The L,” from her highly-anticipated upcoming album POWER. Preceded by the single “Didn’t” featuring Cavetown and title track “Power,” the full record is set to be released on August 23 via Hopeless Records.
Tudzin shares, “’The L’ is about knowing when to back down. It’s a lesson I’ve had the great fortune to have many chances to learn over and over again. It’s about putting your pride aside in favor of resolution. We could go separate ways, but I’ll take the ‘L’ instead.”
She continues, “The vocals in the bridge are from the original demo, and capture how tiny and vulnerable I feel when I’m surrendering to love and compromise. It’s very hard when you’re independent and sure-headed and stubborn to figure out how to navigate partnership, but I’ve thrown my hands up in this song… love always comes out on top.”
illuminati hotties will hit the road this fall on the CAN’T BE STILL TOUR with Daffo and Maddie Ross acting as support. You can check out the tour schedule below and purchase tickets here.
