Melbourne-based artist SASHA SUMMERS announces her sophomore single Belladonna (This Is How You Die), Out Now. Dark, propulsive and visceral, the track is a collision of distorted guitars and confessional storytelling; an alt-rock battle cry for anyone who has ever felt underestimated, hollowed out by a relationship, and then found their footing again.
Co-written with Benjamin Stewart of Slowly Slowly and produced at his studio in Fitzroy, Belladonna arrived in a single 25-minute writing session in the winter of 2024. SUMMERS describes it as a song she almost felt possessed writing – a lyrical outpouring rooted in a years-long heartbreak, the grief of losing someone central to your world, and the specific restlessness of two people who could never quite stop finding each other. Bleary late nights moving through Melbourne’s dive bars, clubs and secluded alleyways underpin the song’s imagery; the feeling of being simultaneously at home with someone and slowly losing yourself to them.
