Tenderness – the solo project of Katy Beth Young – shares new single ‘The Salt Flats’, the latest glimpse into debut album True, out 13 March.
‘The Salt Flats’ captures bittersweet nostalgia through Americana-infused production. Tenderness shares the following:
“‘The Salt Flats’ is a song about trying to hold onto good moments, and how impossible that is. Joy, peace, adoration, they’re all very slippery emotions. The song lives in the moment of gentle panic – the good feeling, already leaving. We tried to build that into the music through the synths and the rhythms – a pulling forwards and backwards at once. A kind of nostalgia. I finished writing the song in my friend Martha Rose’s apartment in Berlin, so it was really perfect that she and my friend Benjamin Gregory could do the backing vocals – their voices are the melancholy cherry on top.”
