Yorke releases new single 'Treading Water'

Rising alt-pop singer Yorke (real name Grace Hughes) has today released her new single ‘Treading Water’. The follow up to last year’s ‘Thought I Could’, which has accumulated over 1 million streams, ‘Treading Water’ was co-written with Sam Burtt and produced by Andy Hopkins. A majestic, sweeping pop track with irresistible melodies and a intimate, at times emotional vocal performance from Yorke, the song details the struggles of pursuing a music career as well as holding onto your dreams. “I’m so glad I didn’t quit / When you said I shouldn’t take the risk” she sings. “It’s about feeling like yes [this career] is a struggle, both emotionally and financially, but I’m still doing what I love, and [knowing] I’m tenacious enough to get through it,” Yorke says.

‘Treading Water’ is out now via Island Records. You can download it from iTunes and stream on Apple Music and Spotify.
