Harmony will be dropping off a new collection of tracks next month in the form of her debut solo album Gossip. The singer released her first solo EP Dystopia Girl last year, following the 2022 disbandment of her band Girlpool after a nine-year-long run.
On Dystopia Girl, Harmony retained the thoughtful production and witty lyricism that helped cement Girlpool as one of the defining acts of indie rock acts of the 2010s. As a solo artist, she’s continuously experimenting with eclectic pop sounds and imaginative visuals, such as the video for her new single “No Romeo.”
Inspired by Baz Luhrmann’s films Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge, along with the CW show Gossip Girl, the video is set at a chaotic dinner party and was directed and styled by Harmony herself.
On the forthcoming album, Harmony says that “Gossip is an exploration of different angles of virtue. I wanted to play with the concept of goodness. You observe so many interesting people living in this world and it’s easy to judge them.”
“Some of the people I characterized I know intimately, some from a distance. Some of the traits live inside me and I exploded them. I wanted to explore shame, parts of myself I think are ugly, shine light and offer compassion to them. I’ve dealt with moral scrupulosity for a lot of my life and I’ve realized the definition of goodness is so different for each person.”
Watch the video for Harmony’s “No Romeo” above and stream the song everywhere now. Gossip is out in full on October 11.
