London singer-songwriter Erica Manzoli returns with “Dear Other Woman,” a cinematic, slow-burning western-pop confessional that examines love, intimacy and imagination with fearless honesty. Framed as a letter to a hypothetical rival, the track closes a year of creative momentum that included live shows alongside Remy Bond, Zinadelphia, Gabriela Bee and Kings Elliott.
“‘Dear Other Woman’ came from a place of questioning,” Manzoli explains. “It’s a fictional letter that imagines a situation I’ve thought about how I might actually feel if someone else crossed a boundary with the person I love.” The song unfolds as a thought experiment, tracing the tension between emotional closeness and physical connection.
“It’s not about wanting that but about exploring how emotional and physical intimacy can sometimes pull in different directions,” she continues. “As someone who sits somewhere on the asexual spectrum, I wanted to be honest about the confusion that can come with that and start a conversation about something that isn’t often spoken about.” The result is reflective, vulnerable and strikingly composed.
Following “Burn The Internet” and her breakout “My Best Friend Is My Therapist,” Manzoli continues to transform personal observation into pointed commentary. With “Dear Other Woman,” she deepens her exploration of modern love, delivering a beautifully restrained and emotionally rich statement.
