Connie Constance has announced her second album, ‘Miss Power’ – listen to new track ‘Till The World’s Awake’ below.
The Watford singer-songwriter will release the follow-up to ‘English Rose’ (2019) on November 4 via Play It Again Sam. You can pre-order/pre-save it here.
Speaking about the infectious first taste of the upcoming 12-track record, Constance described ‘Till World’s Awake’ as “the indie dance single of [her] dreams”.
“Since writing it, it has taken on a whole other meaning,” the artist continued, explaining how she’d been thinking about “the minority communities that I love within in the UK”.
Constance added: “It’s truly a letter to the universe, to what some people may call God, others Allah, and so on. It’s a song that says thank you for looking out for me, thank you for the chance of making my dreams a reality, and thank you for the beautiful people that you have kept around me.
“It feels like an empowering message that no matter how much the world we live in tries to distract us from our power, make us feel small or as if we don’t fit in… it cannot take away from us the work we have done and who we are when we are together building our own opportunities amongst one another and shaping our own realities.”
She concluded: “We have to work extra hard to be understood, but we will be, and until the worlds awake we have each other and no one can take that from us.”
Per a press release, ‘Miss Power’ will boast “dramatic, passionate and empowering scenes with hooks aplenty” as well as lyrics that “excitedly unpick heartbreak, Connie’s strained relationship with her father and her struggles with mental health”.
