Baltimore-based quartet Cherie Amour have released their new single, “Letting Go“, taken from their upcoming album, Spiritual Ascension, out November 4th on Equal Vision Records. The new track marks the band’s third single of the year and serves as an impressive statement on their self-described “nu-punk” sound, expertly combining elements of pop-punk, post-hardcore, RnB, hip hop and metal. Listen to it now below.
While “Letting Go” will appeal to a wide range of music lovers, it is anything but formulaic – instead, it serves as a reminder that Cherie Amour has a musical perspective totally their own. The accompanying music video (directed by Casey Reid) adds an engaging visual component that builds a dramatic narrative centered around vocalist Trey Miler.
Miller said of the song, “This was one of the first demos we did that I knew had to be on the album. When Ronnie and I were living together in Baltimore last year, he actually made the initial beat on Ableton and played it for me later that night while we were out on the balcony chiefing and I immediately got to writing. It was that point in the pandemic when I was getting really tired of not being able to go out dancing so I wrote the lyrics from the perspective of being inside one of my favorite bars in Baltimore called ‘The Charles’. Me and one of my best friends would go there almost weekly.”
The band will join In Her Own Words, Capstan and Shallow Pools on a month long North American tour starting November 18th. Full itinerary is below. Tickets and VIP go on sale Friday, September 9th at 9am EST. Spiritual Ascension is available for pre-order and pre-save here.
