Jehnny Beth<\/a> dropped \u201cHeroine,\u201d the new single from her upcoming LP, To Love Is to Live<\/em>, out June 12th.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll I want is to never fall in love again,\u201d the Savages singer claims in the opening lines over a chaotic, throbbing beat. She refrains \u201cAll I want\u201d in each line, finishing with \u201cto be a heroine\u201d across dense layers of production.<\/p>\n

\u201cHeroine\u201d follows the singles \u201cInnocence<\/a>,\u201d \u201cFlower<\/a>\u201d and \u201cI\u2019m the Man.\u201d<\/a>  To Love Is to Live<\/em> is Beth\u2019s solo debut, produced by Flood, who also recently worked with Radiohead\u2019s Ed O\u2019Brien on his solo LP, Earth.<\/em><\/a> The album features contributions by the xx\u2019s Romy Madley Croft, Idles\u2019<\/span> Joe Talbot and Cillian Murphy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I think of this song, I think of Romy from the xx strangling my neck with her hands in the studio,\u201d Beth said in a statement. \u201cShe was trying to get me out of my shell lyrically, and there was so much resistance in me she lost her patience. The song was originally called \u2018Heroism,\u2019 but I wasn\u2019t happy because it was too generic. Flood was the first one to suggest to say \u2018Heroine\u2019 instead of \u2018Heroism.\u2019 Then I remember Johnny Hostile late at night in my hotel room in London saying, \u2018I don\u2019t understand who you are singing about. Who is the Heroine? You are<\/em> the Heroine.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThe next morning, I arrived early in the studio and recorded my vocals adding \u2018to be\u2019 to the chorus line: \u2018All I want is to be<\/em> a heroine,’\u201d she continued. \u201cFlood entered the studio at that moment and jumped in the air giving me the thumbs-up through the window. I guess I\u2019m telling this story because sometimes we look around for role models and examples to follow, without realizing that the answer can be hidden inside of us. I was afraid to be the heroine of the song, but it took all the people around me to get me there.\u201d<\/p>\n
