The new EP also features a guest collaboration with British artist Paris Paloma on “After All,” Sarah’s first collaboration in the studio.
Commenting on working with Sarah, Paris says “I’ve been a fan of Sarah’s for ages, and she’s been one of my top listened to artists for several years in a row, so when she asked me to collaborate I was so happy to work with her, and also to do something so swelling and emotive as this song ’after all,’ felt like a new direction for both of us, I’m incredibly excited for everyone to hear it.”
Sarah Kinsley on “Lonely Touch”: “‘Lonely Touch’ was written in one sitting after I watched the Luca Guadagnino film Queer. It was inspired by a scene showing two lovers intertwining: their hands traveling under each other’s skin, moving through the body, feeling each other’s hearts.”
“This song is an homage to the vulnerability of longing, of yearning for a kind of touch that is undeniable and terrifying. It is a song about true intimacy: wanting to feel the edges of another's soul, becoming one in the dark together.”
“It really only felt right to create a music video with dance and movement, and with the help of my dear friends New York choreographer Madi O'Halloran and director Chloë Vivian Gottlieb, we made a visual piece that truly embodies the song: one capturing closeness and raw touch between people.”
The Fleeting EP is Sarah’s first body of music since the release of her acclaimed 2024 debut LP, Escaper. Written in the back of cabs zipping across New York City and produced alongside friend and collaborator Jake Aron, the EP is the next colourful chapter of Sarah Kinsley’s fairytale that’s still being imagined with each passing day.
On working with Paris Paloma: “There was something magical about the idea of giving the second half of After All to another artist: creating a duet between people ruminating on why love cannot always save us. Paris Paloma is the artist I wanted to share this moment with, and we made this song together across the Atlantic between New York and London.”
On the EP itself, Sarah reflects, “The Fleeting EP is a collection of music scoring my return to a long lost sense of self. It is a record honouring love and desire. A deep promise to change. It is a promise to yearn, to long, to feel deeply and truly, despite knowing everything is fleeting.”
Escaper was greeted with widespread critical acclaim and turned not only the heads of the critics but of Chappell Roan too, who put the spotlight on Sarah’s talent via Instagram earlier this year. It was a razor-sharp, leftfield pop record sculpted by a bright new talent. Thankfully, Fleeting is no different on that score – five melody-rich pop songs that bob and weave through dreamlike imagery and mellifluous instrumentation.
