Following the release of “Weightless” and “Impurities,” pulled from her forthcoming sophomore album, My Soft Machine, Arlo Parks has delivered a third preview of her full-length with the release of “Blades.” “Paul [Epworth] is just a wizard; he has this childlike spirit that I’ve always really loved and he brought that to ‘Blades,’” Parks shares. “I wanted to make something that I can dance to, finally, because I feel like my songs don’t really have that quality in general.
