Porter Robinson returns with new single "Mirror"

"Mirror" arrives after previous outings "Something Comforting" and "Get Your Wish" that were released prior to the coronavirus pandemic.

The tracks are due to feature on Porter Robinson's second album Nurture, which will be his first LP under his own name since 2014's Worlds.

He says of the new song, ""Mirror" is a song about the costs of being hard on yourself. We all have these avatars that we give to our critical inner voices - we might imagine a scornful parent telling us we’ll fail, or a critic telling us our work comes up short, or a society telling us that we aren’t good enough - it’s about recognising that most of this criticism is self-inflicted."

Robinson continues, "For years, I was imagining the worst thing a critic might say about my music and looking at my own work as negatively as possible as a way to protect myself from criticism, but it never once served me. My hope is that other people can overcome this same kind of shame - it can be really liberating to recognise that most of the time, we’re only letting our own thoughts get in the way, and we can do something about it."
