Our Girl have released What You Told Me,” the latest single off their new album The Good Kind due out November 8, 2024 via Bella Union. The Britpop-influenced Indie Rock track “reflects on the relief and sudden joy felt when things get better after a stretch of struggle & having someone in your life to share it with. The weather breaks, and suddenly the world opens up a bit, it all comes into focus and things that felt impossible feel exciting and more in reach.”

This new song comes after the album’s title track “The Good Kind,” an orchestral-Pop single with input from Warpaint’s Stella Mozgawa, who helped bring the song to life in its early stages.

Singer/guitarist Soph Nathan shares:

This song’s about seeing illness affect someone I love. It’s about the heartbreak in that, but also the comfort and joy in the moments of respite. It always makes life a bit better to share in it with someone else, even if it feels like the odds are against you sometimes.

The Good Kind is an album exploring themes of “sexuality, relationships, community, and illness.” The new collection was recorded at Rockfield Studios and produced by Alt-Rock veteran John Parish (PJ Harvey, Sparklehorse), Fern Ford (The Big Moon, Prima Queen), and Soph Nathan herself.

Drummer Lauren Wilson adds:

A lot of the songs are about taking setbacks and turning them into superpowers.

Our Girl have announced UK in-store appearances in addition to their extensive UK tour. All dates + tickets are here.
