Fiona-Lee has released “Not My Friends,” the latest single from her forthcoming EP ‘Every Woman,’ arriving April 17 via Gravity and Capitol Records. The track is out now on all platforms, and her debut UK headline tour kicks off in April to coincide with the release.
“Not My Friends” is Fiona-Lee at her most direct. The song tackles the cycle of investing in the wrong relationships to avoid loneliness, a fear she describes with clear-eyed self-awareness: “That fear of loneliness can be a hard cycle to break, even when you’re fully aware of it.” Produced by Thom Lewis, the man behind Sam Fender’s landmark albums ‘Hypersonic Missiles’ and ‘Seventeen Going Under,’ the track builds relentlessly from earthy, soaring guitars toward an anthemic climax built for large rooms.
The press has been paying close attention. DIY Magazine cited her “Florence Welch-like, vibrato-tinged rawness,” while Dork called her “one of the UK’s most essential new songwriters.” Rolling Stone UK described her simply as “a very special artist.” BBC Radio 1’s Sian Eleri was more personal still: “I love her so much.” That breadth of support reflects an artist whose songwriting cuts through across audiences.
Fiona-Lee arrives at this headline tour with strong momentum behind her. She has already supported CMAT and Miles Kane, sold out a headline show in Leeds, and secured major support slots with The Maccabees and Paul Weller. A busy summer festival run follows the April dates, including appearances at Neighbourhood Weekender, Big Feastival, and Victorious Festival.
‘Every Woman’ is a six-track EP that tackles difficult emotional terrain with poise and precision.
