Arlo Parks, Twice Grammy-nominated, Mercury Prize and BRIT Award-winning artist has announced the release of her second album, My Soft Machine, due May 26th on Transgressive / [PIAS]. Parks shares the first single from the new record "Weightless.”
About the single, Parks expresses “'Weightless' surrounds the painful experience of caring deeply about someone who only gives you tiny breadcrumbs of affection. It’s about suddenly realizing that a person has dulled your edges and embarking on the slow journey back to being a brighter version of yourself.”
My Soft Machine will be the follow-up to Parks’ critically acclaimed and award-winning debut Collapsed In Sunbeams; a record which received two Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Music Album, won the BRIT Award for Best New Artist, received the Hyundai Mercury Prize, and won the BBC Introducing Artist Of The Year Award. On top of all this, Parks was also nominated for Breakthrough International Act at the BET Awards, was named as the youngest ever high-profile supporter of UNICEF and an ambassador for the British mental health charity, CALM. She has plans to continue her extensive work with both charities.
