IAN SWEET (the project of Jilian Medford) is releasing a new album, Shiverstruck, on July 24 via Polyvinyl. Now she has shared its second single, “Jilian.” Listen below, followed by her upcoming tour dates.

Medford had this to say about the song in a press release: “‘Jilian’ is about the small mistakes that somehow make life feel both cruel and hilarious at the same time. Over the past few years, I’ve struggled to understand who I am when everything familiar feels farther away. This song became me speaking directly to myself, calling myself out and finally saying the things out loud that I’ve been avoiding. It’s about realizing I’m still still here and there’s still so much life left to live. This song feels like hitting the reset button.”

Previously IAN SWEET shared the album’s lead single “Criminal Kissing,” which was one of our Songs of the Week.
