Chvrches’ Lauren Mayberry has shared a new single, ‘Change Shapes’. Following the singer’s 2023 solo tracks ‘Are You Awake?’ and ‘Shame’, the song was written by Mayberry, Matt Koma, Cleo Tighe, and Evan Blair, and produced by Koma. Check it out below.
“I feel like I perform to the general public but also play a character inside the internal experience, because there is so much negotiation involved in my existence there,” Mayberry said in a statement. “How do I keep people happy enough that they’ll let me do the creative work that I want to? I feel quite fake and hypocritical sometimes because so much of the narrative around the band is “feminist”, but my experience inside of it hasn’t been a lot of the time. I feel like I did all this work to make things function but when you DO adapt yourself in that way, it’s seen as manipulative, in order to get what you want.”
