Release Date: 04/22/2022Format: LPLabel: Secretly Canadian – SC444Release type: Indie Exclusive Coke Bottle Clear Colored Vinyl LP Pressing Giving the World Away tells a story of c onfidence found, as Hatchie unifies themes of trust, ambition, love and self-realization by embracing vulnerability as a strength. "It's the concept of giving your heart away," says Hatchie's Harriette Pilbeam, "putting everything on the line...the entire album is really me realising that I actually need to do that in order to grow and accept myself." Its story comes to life in the way it’s told: new songs are intentionally glossy and hi-fi, joyful and arena-sized in sound, articulating Pilbeam's newfound strength and certainty. In fact, Giving the World Away is a record intentionally built for everyone's empowerment, telling Pilbeam's personal story while also inviting it in others to move from the personal to the public, taking the intimate and making it visible . "My last record I wanted people to sing along to," she says. "This one was more about something you can move to. After kind of floating through young adulthood, I realised a lot of the things I'd been missing out on by under-appreciating myself. It's led me to making different decisions not only in regards to my music but also my personal life, the way I dress, the way I socialise, the way I treat my body etc." Giving the World Away is about finally finding one's footing, embracing visibility, and moving past fear of the future to welcome its bigger decisions and higher stakes.
