NYC singer-songwriter Sarah Kinsley has unveiled their new single “What Was Mine” today.

The song arrives with a music video directed by frequent collaborator Lux, which can be seen below. In the visual, the artist delivers a glorious dance routine with their friends. “What Was Mine” is available on digital services right now.

The new song comes from Kinsley’s forthcoming Cypress EP, which will be released on June 10 via Everybody’s Music. This is the follow-up to Kinsley’s 2021 EP The King. Pre-saves for Cypress, which was self-produced by the artist, can be made here.

Kinsley said this about the EP’s formation:

“When my family and I travelled to California, nearly a month after the release of The King, I felt the strongest connection—physical, emotional, spiritual—to a place than any I had ever known before. I had spent most of my life between my small hometown in Connecticut and the vastly different island of Singapore. Driving through California, I didn’t feel at home necessarily, but I felt free. I grew attached to cypress trees, searching for them along the freeways, trying to decipher their meanings, and why I could not distract myself away from their mystique.
I stared at the trees, searching through the slivers of light, the cracks of what might be, the life that might contain itself within the green. And this is where the EP began. Understanding that my own shying away from the dual ideas of who I was, the inability to pick up the pen, all of this was some form of hiding, protecting, saving. Perhaps a part of me felt that I might lose all of myself, if not for the cypress, if not for the thing that might save me. Can we make art and still save a part of ourselves?”

Kinsley will be supporting the EP with a handful of shows across the country with sold-out performances in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston. Their tour routing can be seen below. Tickets for their performances in Washington D.C. and NYC are on sale right now.
