Thank you to the Manchester Collective for their beautiful playing, and of course, thank you to my band- my family- Mally Harpaz and Alex Thomas, and our new family member Jonathan, who are the best musicians out there.

And to have my favourite composer Isobel Waller Bridge compose original arrangements for these songs was beyond what I could ever have imagined- I've never heard my songs sound so good, your talent is electrifying and to be in your presence makes me a better artist.

Adrian Utley you are one of my biggest guitar heroes, from your amazing work with Portishead and also your solo work and production, l've studied your playing for years and to share a stage performing my @peakyblinders.bsky.social soundtrack was such an exciting moment for me.

Haydenn Thorpe l've been a fan of your beautiful voice and songwriting since the very beginning. So many times I've listened to you and got inspired to write a song. In fact so many of my songs are influenced by your work it's actually embarrassing if you knew..

Nadine Shah you are the most thrilling badass singer we have, and your songwriting is so incredible that | get genuinely excited when I know your new records are coming out. I feel so lucky to have shared a stage with you, what an incredible moment this was to unveil a new song together.

I love how the video also shows the subtle defiance it takes for two women to have a free and happy evening without letting any stranger disturb the beauty of their bond. Thank you so much to everyone involved in making this:

I love the idea that each time this moment is remembered, it changes, and becomes more poignant. Every touch becomes more significant.

Although it’s not meant to be a duet, I See A Darkness floats so perfectly into this shape- its yearning feels amplified by two voices. I’m so proud of this piece of music. I hope you enjoy.

It also reminds me that loneliness can be transformative, in that it can acutely reveal to me what I need, and in the rawest sense, reaffirms what it is to be human.
