London singer-songwriter and poet Margot White explores the devastating beauty of difficult truths on her evocative new single ‘Cruelest Pill’, an atmospheric fusion of intimate songwriting and expansive, guitar-driven production.
The new track introduces her forthcoming album, revealing an artist whose creative vision draws equally from music, poetry and cinema. Influenced by the haunting atmospheres of Mazzy Star, the textured guitars of My Bloody Valentine and Bob Dylan’s poetic storytelling, ‘Cruelest Pill’ captures the painful moment when a revelation forces us to reconsider everything we thought we understood about love and ourselves.
Recorded at Brighton’s Salvation Studios, the single was co-produced by the artist alongside acclaimed engineer Phill Brown, whose remarkable career includes collaborations with David Bowie, Pink Floyd and Bob Marley. While mixing and mastering were handled by Jake Stainer.
Balancing vulnerable vocals with immersive layers of guitar, the recording transforms personal upheaval into something simultaneously melancholic and liberating. With this new release, Margot White delivers a deeply personal introduction to her next musical project, finding artistic freedom in the difficult process of letting go.
