Phoebe Green Releases New Song “Precious Things”
Manchester-based singer-songwriter Phoebe Green released their brand new song “Precious Things” on November 29, 2024.
The song is the second single since the 4-track EP “Ask Me Now”, following “Love Song” released back in August.
Both songs will appear on their upcoming project, which is expected to be released in 2025.
The song explores the duality of obsessive romantic infatuation.
They wrote and produced the song at their flat in Manchester and their parents' house in the coastal town of Lytham St Annes.
Phoebe Green said of the song, “I really wanted to write a song about the obsessive, almost fan-like behaviour that we can exhibit in romantic relationships; I love borderline creepy lyrics that are a combination of uncomfortable and almost comedic when expressing love for something or someone. I wanted to contrast this with a truly devastating chorus that almost feels sacrificial, a willingness to be of use in any way to someone just to feel needed. I like that sonically both of these ideas are reflected also, the verses are sort of nursery rhyme-jolly so that the deeper meaning is concealed somewhat, whereas the chorus is just fully heart-on-sleeve yearning with the big synthy choral sound.”- On the new project, Phoebe Green has worked with producer Ric Levy. It is their first project in three years since the 2022 album “Lucky Me”.
Phoebe Green said of the project, “I think this new music is just very me. I’ve been listening to a lot of Imogen Heap, St Vincent, Caroline Rose and obviously Charli XCX and Chappell Roan, though I don’t feel as though I’ve intentionally drawn much influence from anywhere in particular. I think I’ve subconsciously shied away from writing big pop choruses in the past, but I really loved experimenting with this on my new project. I’ve really tried to marry the sounds with the lyrics and allowed the vulnerability to be a focal point, I mean what I say and if one day I don’t feel the same, then I’ll try not to be embarrassed that I once said something with conviction because at the end of the day I believe in something entirely until I don’t.” -
