After stepping into the spotlight with her debut, Asheville-based Pretty Little Saturday returns with her stirring new single, “Tangerine” — a bold, heartfelt glimpse into the next chapter of her evolving sound.
Blending vivid lyricism with cinematic imagery, “Tangerine” dives deep into vulnerability, inner chaos, and the aching need for connection when everything feels like it’s falling apart. The track captures that dizzying balance between strength and fragility — confronting isolation, fractured trust, and the quiet erosion of empathy. At its heart, the chorus becomes a haunting plea for unconditional love and support: Who will stand by you when you’re unraveling? With its mix of urgency, hope, and raw emotion, “Tangerine” lands as both an intimate confession and a universal anthem for anyone fighting to stay whole.
Pretty Little Saturday’s sound exists where wide-open spaces meet deep personal reflection. The track marries warm, organic textures with a polished pop edge, while Kristi’s vocal delivery carries an understated power — vulnerable yet self-assured. Written between the calm of the Asheville mountains and the pulse of Los Angeles, and brought to life with Patrick Doyle (Jennifer Lopez) and Phillip Shaw Bova (Lake Street Dive, Father John Misty, Feist), “Tangerine” captures a moment of clarity and artistic growth that’s been years in the making.
“This song is about falling apart on the inside and wondering who will stand by you in those darkest moments,” Kristi shares. “It’s a confession of vulnerability and the need for connection when life turns inside out.”
Shaped by a decade of introspection and reinvention, Pretty Little Saturday channels years of experience into music that feels unguarded, luminous, and unmistakably real.
