[Official Video] Delilah - Breathe

Taking the luxuriant string-wrapped hiss and crackle of previous masterwerk Love You So, Delilah's latest single - Breathe - goes for a far more minimalist approach, all broken beats and tempting vocal melodies. It's haunting in the most seductive ways, a street lament of the most moving kind, and a wonderful showcase yet again for those incredible, mind-blowing vocals that really mark Delilah out. Rest be assured, her debut album, released in July, will be worth the wait.

Breathe is released on the 13th May.

Delilah – Breathe

Originally serving as a b-side to debut single Go, Breathe is trademark Delilah. Smoky, soulful vocals, all angelic and light like the touch of the softest feather. Against a backing track that’s teasingly minimal, Delilah purrs away, those gorgeous string sections resurfacing from her excellent Love You So to lend Breathe an air of retro-tinged class. We were gutted when Love You So failed to chart, Delilah’s vocals are too good not to be afforded a mass audience, and her recent 2 – 4 am mixtape was phenomenal. And Breathe wins us over just the same – it’s achingly beautiful.

Breathe is released on the 30^th April.
