Singer-songwriter Katie Malco has shared “Brooklyn“, the second track from upcoming debut album Failures, set for release via 6131 Records on June 5th.
“‘Brooklyn’ is about a friend of mine that moved to start a new life in New York,” Malco explains. “We’ve been friends for years and I’ve always felt protective of her. I went to New York for the first time to see her, having hardly even left the UK before, so it felt like a massive significant trip for me. It was her birthday and we had a big night to celebrate. On the last night we had a heart to heart where I tried to persuade her to come home – at this point she was hardly making enough money to live. She said she wouldn’t stay forever, to appease me, but that she was going to give it her best go. It wasn’t until later that I realised I wasn’t asking her to come home because I was worried she wasn’t going to survive – she always does – I was asking her to come home because I needed her.”
