For those of us who enjoy a small helping of misery within our music, XATIVA unveils her latest effort, “You’re A Mistake” — her first single and video release in two years. Exploring the conflicting feelings that collect towards the end of a relationship, the song is just as sorrowful as it is soothing — with gentle guitar strings and symphonic notes slowly ushering you into a space of calm reflection. Sampling her unmatched vocals, XATIVA sings her lyrics with a tone that is equal parts angelic and haunting — perfectly contrasting the intimacy and destruction of a breakup.

Speaking further on the track, the London-based artist explains, “A central theme of ‘You’re A Mistake’, and the project as a whole, is the seeming contradiction of the frustration of falling for someone who is wrong for you, but at the same time the powerful feelings of love that still draw you towards them.”

Never one to shy away from the most painful of themes and topics, “You’re A Mistake” marks an exciting new turn for the singer-songwriter — proving herself as one to watch for 2022. To stream the single now, head below…
