TOPS’ Jane Penny has released a new track, ‘Beautiful Ordinary’, taken from her debut solo EP Surfacing. The project, out this Friday via Luminelle, was announced in January with the song ‘Messages’. Check ‘Beautiful Ordinary’ below.
“This song is about being afraid to lose someone that you love,” Penny explained in a press release. “When I listen to it now it sounds like an anthem for codependency. At that time I thought that the more afraid you are to lose someone, the stronger your love was. I’ve come to see those fears in a different way, but I know they were very real emotions. I love dark 80s music, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys etc., and I thought that 80s vibe suited a song about such angsty juvenile feelings.”
