Shura - I Got Too Sad For My Friends
This product is available on pre order with a limited discounted price.
Five years after her critically acclaimed album ‘forevher’, Shura is back with her
highly anticipated third studio album ‘I Got Too Sad For My Friends’. A pastoral
blend of chamber pop, sixties folk and campfire Americana, it builds Shura’s
introspective songwriting out into a vast landscape – more tranquil than the
soulful bounce of ‘forevher’, and more rustic than the brooding synth-pop of
her 2016 debut ‘Nothing’s Real’.
That landscape is both sonically comforting and representative of her
headspace during the writing process, which was one of sadness and isolation.
The itinerant emotional state is mirrored in the artwork, which sees Shura
perched on a Welsh mountainside in a baggy jumper, ripped jeans, Converse,
and cobbled-together armour that covers everything except her vital organs –
part Kurt Cobain, part Leonardo DiCaprio in Romeo + Juliet. The image
references the French novella The Little Prince, which follows a young boy who
sets out to explore other planets to cure his loneliness.
Though it’s an album exploring themes of depression and loneliness, ‘I Got Too
Sad For My Friends’ is far from dejected it retains Shura’s usual crystalline
sound and precision while introducing a different kind of warmth and
earthiness.
