CLIFTON 2.5 – has unveiled a radiant new single āUnder Attackā.
The track is taken from what will be her debut EP release, āOutskirts of Nowhereā, due 14 April via Leafy Outlook.
A glistening alt-pop track that blends tender vocal harmonies with lush electronic textures, āUnder Attackā arrives asĀ Clifton 2.5ās debut original single, following the release of reworked covers of Bombay Bicycle Clubās āAlways Like Thisā and Go Westās āKing of Wishful Thinkingā earlier this year.Ā
Stemming from a memory Clifton 2.5 had of being at school and experiencing relationships for the first time, the artist explains:
āThis song is about the idea of preserving part of yourself in a relationship, not letting everything go at once but keeping your mind separate from the demands of a relationship until you find someone who you can really trust.”
