One of the most dynamic and powerful voices in music, india sean Today, her new single and video for “Gone” was released. Written by India Shawn, D’Mile, Bianca “Blush” Atterbury, and Jean-Baptiste Kouame, the song continues Shawn’s self-help, relatable style of writing memorable and instantly catchy storytelling. The piece (produced by Oscar® and Grammy® winner D’Mile and engineered by D’Mile and Grammy® winner John Carsey) is full of unexpected gems, including surf guitar, whistles, and handclaps, culminating in a piano solo that embodies the sense of freedom that comes with regaining one’s sense of self.
The video clip, directed by David Maxwell, gives the soul/pop anthem a neo-Western cinematic scope, highlighting Sean’s freeing and powerful vocals. India’s unique style is incredibly rustic yet charming at the same time, adding visual drama.
India Shawn said of “Gone”, “‘Gone’ isn’t just about someone leaving, it’s about what I gain in their absence. Peace, clarity, strength. This song is about being more than okay on your own. It’s about finally feeling strong in that.” “Gone” is about letting go of what doesn’t serve you. Not with bitterness, but with clarity. I’m learning that loneliness doesn’t mean being alone when you’re finally honest about what you deserve. I wrote this song from the moment I stopped fighting to fix something that kept breaking me. Instead, it’s your choice. Sonically, I wanted to push myself out of the box with this song. Dimile and I kept pushing it until it felt bigger than just a pretty truck. It had to feel like an ode to walking away and not looking back at the end. ”
India Shawn is currently on tour with the Free Nationals and Giveon.
