Petrie Unveil New Single ‘Texting You’

Alt-pop duo Petrie are back with a brand new single titled Texting You, a bittersweet piece of alt-pop music. I am really enjoying those emotive vocals and the highly infectious melodies. Texting You is definitely a song that got stuck to my head after the very first listen and I started singing along to it in no time. This duo perfectly showcases their storytelling abilities wrapped around a multi-textural, upbeat pop flavour. Texting You is taken from their debut album Superstore, out now. Stream this gem below!

Texting You is one of the oldest songs on the record, born in the summer of ’17 as an impressionistic poem-turned-jazz-ballad. We’ve lost that poem now but it started something like: “Last May we met and fell in love/you told me everything at once/I felt free, like summer/like the birds tattooed across your back”. How that became a big sad banger with 808s and lyrics about George’s Ford Fiesta is a mystery lost in the sands of time. However, that stanza can act as a prelude not only to the song it became but also to Superstore as a whole.
