A.G. Sully Explores The Perils Of Non-Monogamy On ‘Psyche’
A.G. Sully has released ‘Psyche’, a single from her forthcoming EP ‘Orbit’, due on 12 February. The song reflects on a failed attempt at non-monogamy and the emotional pain that followed, drawing on an experience she says taught her about her own limits.
The Alabama-raised, Brooklyn-based artist wrote the track soon after moving to New York, where she was learning to produce her own music and encountering ideas new to her upbringing. She and her then-boyfriend ended the arrangement within a week because it felt too painful. ‘Orbit’ also reflects her creative development, a long-distance relationship and her move from Christian music towards a personal blend of trip-hop, dream-pop and R&B.
