Critically acclaimed artist FLETCHER announces the forthcoming release of her third studio album, Would You Still Love Me If You Really Knew Me? Out July 18th via Capitol Records, the platinum-selling singer/songwriter’s latest full-length features her brand-new single “Boy,” out today accompanied by the official visual. Listen to “Boy” HERE.
A gorgeous introduction to the unvarnished emotion of Would You Still Love Me If You Really Knew Me?, “Boy” opens on a stripped-back arrangement of piano and acoustic guitar as FLETCHER begins to tell her story: “I’ve been sitting on a secret/And I don’t think I can keep it anymore.” With both aching sensitivity and assured determination, FLETCHER shares a soul-baring chorus: “I kissed a boy/And I know it’s not what you wanted to hear…I fell in love/And it wasn’t with who I thought it would be/And I’m scared to think of what you’ll think of me.”
“Boy” moves along at its own unhurried pace, gently enveloping the listener in its delicate guitar tones, bittersweet melodies, and beautifully layered vocal work. True to the raw transparency that illuminates every song on Would You Still Love Me If You Really Knew Me?, the track reveals all of FLETCHER’s worries and fears while reinforcing her refusal to be anyone but herself. The result: a powerful new chapter in her journey as a Queer person and musical artist, affirming her commitment to sharing the full spectrum of her truth.
