Strabe release new single ‘All My Heart’

STRABE have today dropped brand new single ‘All My Heart’, which is available now on [PIAS] alongside a stunning video directed by Tom Furse. It introduces the musical and visual world behind the band’s upcoming debut album, having gone viral with first track ‘Best Worst Year’ (which has surpassed over 10 million streams) and won widespread praise for debut mixtape JUVENOIA. STRABE have also confirmed further live shows next month including Dot To Dot festival, full info below.

‘All My Heart’ summons the wistful alternative-pop of bands like The Cardigans or The Cranberries, alongside a keen ear for emotive, electronic and dance influences like Romy or Fred again.. Both uplifting and melancholic, on ‘All My Heart’ STRABE aim to capture – they say – “when love feels so simple. Something wonderful that I (Angelica) realised when in my first queer relationship was how natural, easy and joyous loving as your authentic self can be.”  

The video to ‘All My Heart’ sees STRABE further explore new territory, as well as a water-theme that recurs throughout their upcoming work. Directed by Tom Furse (The Horrors), the band’s seaside performance in Margate is replicated by a unique AI model, with the results blurring the line between fact, feeling and reminiscent of a live Matisse painting.

STRABE are alt-pop duo Angelica and Emmet, soundtracking those chaotic coming-of-age experiences with innate musical maturity. Angelica (originally from Scotland) met Emmet – who was born and raised in Ireland – in the smoking section of a Cork music festival: the pair quickly realised they represented the missing part of each other’s projects, but failed to swap numbers at the end of a long night. Both, in their own way, used STRABE (and the blossoming, unconventional friendship at the heart of it) to work through their own emotional journeys, which were vividly explored across debut mixtape JUVENOIA. From the soon-to-be-prophetic ‘Best Worst Year’ – which climbed to 10 million streams over the pandemic – to ‘Life On Pause’ (channeling Gen Z’s suspended experiences of growing up over lockdown), here were songs variously affecting, euphoric and hugely accomplished. Having since moved to London, played their first ever live shows, and picked up support across BBC Introducing, 6Music and more, STRABE threw themselves into a brand new project which begins beguilingly with ‘All My Heart’. Watch out for more coming soon.
