Life-altering experiences paired with the ten-year anniversary of Ladyhawke’s self-titled debut full-length fed into a sense of nostalgia and reflection while working on her brand new album, Time Flies. Along with the new single, new single “Mixed Emotions”. Pip shares: “Mixed Emotions was written with old mates Jono Sloan and Nick Littlemore while I was on a writing trip in LA. Sloan had come up with a really cool bass groove which Nick and I riffed over to get the lyrics and melody. The song is about all the things you can feel with one person, sometimes all in a single day. Up’s and downs, confusion, highs and lows. And everything in between!”

Time Flies by Ladyhawke drops on October 8 via BMG. In the half decade since her 2016 album Wild Things, Pip has gone through a personal transformation. She married New Zealand actress/director/comedian Madeleine Sami and gave birth to their beautiful daughter in late 2017. Having always been a keen gamer, she also joined Twitch during the lockdown and found new friends as well as a sense of community and inspiration.

Pip has openly struggled with mental health, anxiety and depression for a long time and, after dealing with severe postnatal depression + a serious skin cancer condition which has thankfully seen a full recovery, was able to successfully procure the right balance of therapy & medication which is so individually specific. When she embarked on writing songs for this new record in 2019, there was a sense of freedom in the work. “I was feeling pretty grateful to be alive and making music, so I felt like I didn’t ‘care’ anymore – not in a bad way, I just stopped overthinking it.”
