Tears Run Red

Penelope Darling fuses vulnerability, devastation and beauty on her stunning new single ‘Tears Run Red’. 

The singer-songwriter offers a unique take on R&B, incorporating the ruggedness of blues and the sophistication of jazz into a fresh and contemporary sound. Taking influence from an eclectic array of names, ranging from Etta James to Drake to Beyonce, Penelope has developed a style that is deeply expressive, as well as absorbing empyreal. 

The delivery somehow co-exists as both delicate and powerful, as we hang on every word that Penelope artfully ushers. There is great sincerity in the lyricism, and the artist writes with a refreshing openness, discharging thoughtful musings with subtle elegance. The song is accompanied by a moody, cinematic visual that uses the pathetic fallacy of rain to highlight the psyche of our narrator and the heartrending themes of the track.

Speaking on the track, Penelope commented:

“Every song I’ve ever written has truth, a personal story or about someone I care about. But this song is different. It’s my hardest time, sung in poetry. I’m so proud of what we have created with Tears Run Red.”

Merging sounds with ataractic ease, Penelope’s rousing cadence and affecting lyricism highlight her star quality. Get her on your radar now!
