Lisbon-born, London-based singer-songwriter Maripool has dropped a new single in the form of ‘This Time Again’. She manages to combine a variety of influences in the track, from the shoegaze and emo music of the 1990s to the jangle of early 2010s guitar-centric pop, into an emotive, memorable tune. The atmospheric, lo-fi video is the perfect accompaniment to the track. “I wrote a really pretty sounding song and I wanted to take it to the extreme with the lyrics,” she says. “It’s the kind of song where you wouldn’t expect to hear the words ‘I’d like to see you cry, I’d like to see you die’ but at the same time it also made total sense with how I felt.” The new single is taken from her upcoming debut EP, It All Comes At Once, which is due for release on October 14th, 2022. -Dan Peeke.
