UK band Pale Waves have released a new video for “Jealousy,” a track lifted off their forthcoming album Unwanted, out August 12 via Dirty Hit. “Some may see it as ridiculous,” explains frontwoman Heather Baron-Gracie, “but I love a bit of jealousy – not too much, but just enough… I want jealousy in a relationship because it shows me the person only has eyes for me and me only.”

The quartet’s previous album, Who Am I?, which saw Heather becoming more personal in her songwriting to open up about her journey of self-discovery and falling in love, Unwanted takes a step further; exploring loss, vanity, anger, jealousy and hopelessness in a style that marks new territory for Pale Waves. Recorded in Los Angeles with producer Zakk Cervini (Blink-182, Halsey), Unwanted taps into darker emotions than ever before while also striking a fresh tone of defiance and reaching out into the passionate community of misfits and LGBTQIA+ fans around the band.

“The album dives into feelings that I felt not only needed to be written but I felt like our fans want to hear,” continues Heather on the themes that inspired Unwanted. “Almost everyone has felt like they don’t belong, or has been made to feel like they’re not good enough. That’s a consistent theme that I’m seeing from our fans – that their family doesn’t approve of them, or their friends have disowned them because they’ve come out. So Unwanted had to be honest, provocative and loud. Not only thematically, but in the music as well.”
