"It was also a big turning point in my life as I was about to turn 30, while I'd written our first record when I was graduating from college - that's a big change. I could've kept making bad choices because they're easy, but I had to come clean to myself. Half the album was written before and the other half after, so the songs are kind of hard on myself but some are also hopeful, with a light at the end of the tunnel."
"This is the first song we completed for Still There's A Glow. At that time, I was feeling a bit...indulgent. Taking what I want, whenever I wanted it, and disregarding the world all at the same time. I felt like my self worth was cheap, and that I had no boundaries as a healthy person. I quite literally had no self control."
Sweet Pill announced their sophomore album Still There's a Glow, due March 13 via Hopeless and produced by Matt Weber. The record follows the 2022 debut Where The Heart Is and the 2024 Starchild EP. Vocalist Zayna Youssef underwent depression and therapy and approached turning 30, informing much of the songwriting; half the album was written before therapy and half after. The songs range from self-critical to hopeful, focusing on climbing out of low points and practicing kindness toward oneself. The lead single "No Control" addresses rock bottom, lack of boundaries, and diminished self-worth; a Johnny Komar-directed video accompanies it. A North American tour is scheduled for March and April.
