Ahead of the release of their fourth album Smitten on September 27, Pale Waves top Antidote with “Thinking About You.” A widescreen, yearning love song, it finds lead singer and guitarist Heather Baron-Gracie wondering if a former love is still thinking about her too (“Tell me, tell me do you remember?/Do the feelings linger?” she sings) and what they could have done to make it work. “The original version of this was a straight-up acoustic ballad,” she tells Apple Music. “In the studio, everyone started to say that it didn’t fit with the rest of the record, but I was so attached to this song from day one. I felt a weird connection to it, so we had to rework it with this guitar riff. It was perfect, it made the record better.” Smitten, she says, is their “strongest” album yet, thanks to the band restlessly examining and refining each track while they were working on it. “We’ve had multiple versions of all of the songs on this record. I think that’s why it’s our strongest record, because these songs have been worked through again and again and again and had so many different personalities and so many changes.” Elsewhere on Antidote, hear essential new music from artists including Blossoms, Nieve Ella, LAUREL, and The Beaches.
