Halflives Unveil New Single "jealous." | Biggest Ever UK & EU Headline Tour Kicks Off!
With their huge UK and European tour getting started last night in Manchester, Halflives have unleashed a brand new single which is perhaps their catchiest song to date.
"jealous." is full of undeniable vocal hooks, fantastic bass lines, and a chorus that will wedge into your brain so firmly you'll need a locksmith to get it out.
To accompany the wonderful new single, Linda Battilani, Halflives mastermind, takes things to new places with the jealous. music video. Equal parts spooky, fun and quirky, lets just say you wouldn't want to get on Linda's bad side after seeing this video! Check out the music video for jealous. below:

We hand over to Linda to hear more about the new single:
"“jealous.” is the perfect example that songwriting doesn’t have to have any boundaries.
While I was writing it I was feeling that something out of my ordinary was about to happen and I didn’t force this one in any comfortable space. On the contrary I followed the flow and let it happen and here it is. Lyric wise it was very fun to write, once I unlocked the first idea for the chorus, which was a simple “okay, fine”, all the rest of the ideas started pouring and I wrapped them up in one afternoon (I love when this happens!). I’m very proud of how it turned out and it’s one step forward in my “adulthood” as a songwriter.
When I have to describe how this song sounds like or what it makes me feel I say “it’s the perfect soundtrack for a villain!”.
The song clearly talks about jealousy, and it takes a hypothetical situation to an extremely drastic and dark point. I loved crafting a crazy character, doing drastic deeds to get rid of a rival in love. It was very fun to picture in my head and it was even more fun to portray all this in a music video!"

"This is an exciting time for Linda and Halflives. Go stream Inferno and experience the red, hellfire-themed dreaminess of the EP." - Black Velvet Magazine
"This EP is great but it ends all too quickly which is some of the best criticism. The tracks are reflective at points and strong and defiant at others and the band have really covered all the bases here" - Distorted Sound Magazine
"They have the songs, they can play and they have an excellent lead singer, they should be preparing for world domination" - Three Songs And Out
