London-based electronic songwriter and producer Tusks, AKA Emily Underhill, has returned with her new single "Artificial Flame".

"Artificial Flame" follows Tusks' two revered albums, Dissolve in 2017 and Avalanche in 2019.

“I went down to Devon alone to write. At that point I'd also realised I was no longer in love with my partner at the time and "Artificial Flame" is all about coming to that realisation and processing it," Underhill explains. "It was really intense. I didn’t really speak to anyone for days and there was this insane storm which came over. Weirdly though, that actually ended up inspiring the chorus hook because I couldn’t light a fire without using a load of firelighters, which then made this massive green flame. I was kinda staring at it then the phrase Artificial Flame popped into my head and seemed to sum up everything I was feeling about the relationship.”

"Artificial Flame" is out now. Tusks is set to headline The Waiting Room in London on 7 November. Tickets are available now via tusksofficial.com.
