Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Ghostly Kisses Releases New Song “Crimson”
French-Canadian dream pop duo Ghostly Kisses, consisting of Margaux Sauvé and Louis-Étienne Santais, released the fourth single from their upcoming sophomore album “Darkroom” on March 20, 2024.
Last year, the duo shared persnal messages from their fans through "Box of Secrets," exploring themes of heartbreak, grief, and personal discovery.
The song reflects messages through the Box of Secrets.
The track was written by Louis-Étienne Santais and Margaux Sauvé. Produced by Louis-Étienne Santais and Oli Bayston.
The duo's lead singer Margaux Sauvé said of the song, “Crimson holds a special place for us within Darkroom, primarily due to the emotional depth of the themes it explores. Through the Box of Secrets, we received numerous revealing confessions of homosexuality, and the challenges individuals face in expressing or living their love due to familial or societal constraints. Crimson aims to be a broader reflection and claim on individual rights and freedom, also echoing events such as the tragic death of Mahsa Amini and the Iranian protest movement for women's freedom.”- She continued, “This passage vividly captures the intensity of their emotions - the profound anger, the deep-seated pain, and an unwavering resolve to persist in the fight for their rights and freedoms. Being the most lyrically intense song of the album, we wanted to couple that with the most intense musical production as well. The verses are sung by one voice, but as the message comes 'I know it's not us', it's progressively joined by more and more voices as a metaphor of how a movement starts. Through Crimson, we hope to offer a powerful medium to amplify the voices of those who are silenced.”

The new album comprises a 12-track and is set to be released on May 17, 2024.
The duo said of the album, “Last year, we invited you to share personal testimonies anonymously through our Box of Secrets. We were astonished by the number of responses we've received, as well as how moving they were. Your stories have been a profound source of inspiration, and we've put our hearts into writing new songs that reflect the universal themes gathered from the Box of Secrets; every song on Darkroom is inspired by bits and pieces of your lives.” - source : Apple Music
