Pale Waves have released a new single Jealousy, lifted from their forthcoming album Unwanted, which is due out on August 12 via Dirty Hit.
Accompanying the single is a high-fashion, stylish black and white music video directed by Vasilisa Forbes.
Jealousy follows the band's previously-released singles Reasons To Live and Lies.
Of the new offering, which see frontwoman Heather Baron-Gracie explore the obsessive side to her personality, she says, “Some may see it as ridiculous, but I love a bit of jealousy - not too much, but just enough... I want jealousy in a relationship because it shows me the person only has eyes for me and me only.”

Speaking of the forthcoming record, which was produced by Zakk Cervini (Simple Plan, Limp Bizkit, Blink-182, Machine Gun Kelly, Yungblud, Bring Me the Horizon), she explains, “The album dives into feelings that I felt not only needed to be written but I felt like our fans want to hear.
"Almost everyone has felt like they don't belong, or has been made to feel like they’re not good enough. That’s a consistent theme that I'm seeing from our fans – that their family doesn't approve of them, or their friends have disowned them because they've come out. So Unwanted had to be honest, provocative and loud. Not only thematically, but in the music as well.”
Of the new album's title, Unwanted, she adds, “It was really the only thing this album could be called. It’s bold and unapologetic, and that’s what the Pale Waves community is about.
"We don’t need to fit a perfect mould, we don’t need to apologise for being ourselves, and we won’t change for anyone. That acceptance is what connects us.”
