September 13, 2024—Today, New York-based breakout artist Sarah Kinsley unveils the official video for her new single, “Knights.” Watch the self-directed and produced video HERE.

“‘Knights’ is a ballad that explodes with anger, force, and inexplicable emotion,” Kinsley details, “It is a song geared towards the dangers of chivalry; it is the power of the feminine striking through song. We are raising a glass to the nights we wish to forget, and the young girls within that we inevitably reach back for…”

The song is from her debut album, Escaper, which was just released via Verve Forecast/Decca to great fanfare. Listen to the album HERE.

Kinsley collaborated with and co-produced the album alongside Grammy-award winning producer John Congleton (Angel Olsen, St. Vincent, Sharon Van Etten). “One realization you have eventually as an insular, more introspective person is that there’s a world outside of yourself waiting for you to look into it. I had made every single EP from scratch, in the sweetness of my apartment… This record was meant to be grand and unstoppable,” she details.

Kinsley is gearing up to embark on a headline tour across North America, the U.K. and Europe in support of the new music, kicking off September 15 and including stops at New York City’s Webster Hall, two sold out evenings at Los Angeles’ Troubadour and more. See below for a complete list of dates. Tickets and more info HERE.

Leading up to her debut album, Kinsley released three EPs—The King (2021), Cypress (2022) and Ascension (2023)—to widespread critical praise. The King’s title track went viral on TikTok, accumulating 121 million global streams to date across her catalogue and climbing, and the EP was included in NME’s list of top debut projects of 2021 raving, “Her transformative songs of growing pains and discovery share a similar intimacy to the introverted, deeply human alt-pop of Maggie Rogers and Lorde.”

Ascension received praise from the likes of NPR Music, The Sunday Times, Ones to Watch and more. Kinsley has performed at Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and more, as well as opened for the likes of Mitski, Sylvan Esso, Weyes Blood and Gus Dapperton.
