Indigo De Souza announces third album with new single "Young and Dumber"

"Young and Dumber" follows Indigo De Souza's 2021 album Any Shape You Take. The single is the first preview of her upcoming third album, and lands with a self-directed video.

""Younger and Dumber" is a flood beam of my emotional and spiritual human experience," Indigo De Souza explains. "My growing up defeated by a world brutally littered with trash, violence and grief, and somehow finding beauty, purpose, and boundless love existing in the same place. This song felt really emotionally intense for me when I wrote it. I was sitting in my house and it kind of flowed right to me as if it had already been written by some other force. A lot of the lyrics are a nod to the idea that your experiences make you who you are. I endured some heavy darkness and dysfunction when I was a teenager. But if I hadn't been through those things, I wouldn't be who I am now. When you're young, you don't know any better, but you learn from your experiences, and then you become somebody who’s been alive and learning. It’s also about how heartbreaking that is; to start as a child with vivid curiosity, innocent imagination and joy, and for the world to end up being kind of brutal to be a part of. This song is a love letter to everyone’s inner child. No one can prepare us for how insane it is to be alive. How many times we will have to rise from the ashes and what courage it will take."

All of This Will End is inspired by her childhood memories, trips in the Appalachian mountains and southern swamps with friends, and more. It was recorded at Asheville’s Drop of Sun Studios with producer and engineer Alex Farrar, who also worked on Any Shape You Take.

She says of the album title, "Every day I wake up with the thought that this could be the end. You could look at it as a sad thing, or you could look at it as a really precious thing: Today I'm alive and at some point, I will not be in this body anymore. But for now, I can do so much with being alive."
