Sigrid has released ‘Blue’, a new single which will feature on the upcoming special edition of her recent second album, ‘How To Let Go’.
The 12-track album originally dropped back in May via Island Records. This newly-announced rerelease will arrive on November 4th and features ‘Blue’, another new track, ‘A Driver Saved My Night’, and thirteen new performances of songs from the original album tracklist.
“I have made acoustic versions of my singles since the beginning, and they’ve (almost) all been done with Askjell, one of my closest friends and collaborators,” Sigrid explains. “It’s been a nice way to check in with the actual songwriting in between heavy promoting, touring, video shoots, and traveling.”
“Askjell’s studio has really been one of my safe places and then I got this idea that I wanted to make alternative versions of all the songs from my second album with Askjell – to present the songwriting of ‘How To Let Go’ in a more intimate way, and in that way also show the other side of me,” she adds. “I’m both unafraid of massive stages and big choruses, and at the same time an introvert who prefers staying by the piano, and I think you can hear that in this special edition version of the album.”
