Whitney have released another single from their upcoming fourth album.

Blending soaring strings, ethereal vocals and a contribution from Grammy-winning California musician Madison Cunningham, the dreamy Evangeline offers a further glimpse into 'Small Talk', due out via AWAL this Friday (November 7). Lead singer Julian Ehrlich commented:

"The most crucial moment of writing Evangeline came when, after weeks of failed experiments, we leaned into the theatricality of the chorus. Max put midi timpanis and string pads underneath the vocals and the whole sentiment of the song clicked into place for us. In hindsight it was probably the main instance where having a producer in the room could have led us to the finish line a bit quicker but nevertheless we got there. It wasn’t until almost a year later that we had the idea to make it a duet and we are beyond grateful that we got to feature Madison Cunningham as the other half of the vocal. To say that this song is special to us is an understatement."

Cunningham said: "I’m a genuine fan of Whitney. When the band sent me this song, it was a no brainer that I wanted to sing on it. It’s not often that I’m stopped in my tracks by a song. In fact, the sound of this whole record from front to back is staggering to me. It’s the most beautiful wall of sound where every piece is considered, and the through line is clear. My memory is coloured with it being one of the easiest, most joyful sessions."

Previously, the Chicago duo teased the follow-up to 2022's 'Spark' with the earlier tracks Damage, Back To The Wind, Dandelions and Darling.

Whitney will tour Europe early next year, including shows in Dublin, Manchester, Glasgow, Bristol and London between February 21 and 27, followed by North American dates in the spring. Tickets are on sale now.

Cunningham released her third studio album, 'Ace', last month. She'll support it with North American, European and UK tour dates between January and April. Head here for details.
