North Carolina-based American-Brazilian indie-alt rock artist Indigo De Souza has never been one to shy away from the big topics, with unwavering honesty and unflinchingly personal songwriting at the core of her creativity.
Emboldened to make music as a child thanks to the support of her mother, De Souza made her recorded debut as a teenager before the release of her first album just weeks shy of her 21st birthday.
Harnessing a love of alternative and indie rock, De Souza’s jagged and immersive approach to the world of music didn’t take long to find a wider audience, with 2021’s Any Shape You Take turning heads thanks to an inimitable ability to bare her soul through her songwriting and performance style.
De Souza’s music is as raw as it is unflinching, with a mystifyingly visceral ability to craft these deep and powerful compositions being accompanied by an innate tendency to create impactful ballads that resonate for ages afterwards.
Last year saw De Souza unveil her fourth album, the eagerly-awaited Precipice, a record which cracked her world wide open. This time, she accepted a new challenge, taking on blind studio sessions in Los Angeles, revelling in the expanded pool of collaborators and ability to focus on music. Finding a deep connection with producer Elliott Kozel, the pair found themselves at the start of a long and important collaboration.

The result is an album that finds the prolific and poetic singer-songwriter looking over the edge of a creative and spiritual cliff and leaping forward—taking control of difficult memories and charged emotions via pop bombast and diaristic clarity, and finding a stronger self.
There are points in life where the precipice feels furthest from our control—something De Souza faced in late 2024, as Hurricane Helene ravaged the East Coast of the so-called United States. Though her recently finished album showed the buoyant joy of change, De Souza’s flooded home and destroyed belongings represent its potential tragic side. When not in the thick of clearing the mess and helping her community recover, she continued to return to music as a comfort, already having written another album worth of breathtaking songs.
Even when the void seems darkest, De Souza leaps boldly—and on Precipice she soars through wild, uncharted territory with open eyes, a full heart, and gritted teeth, finding new beauty even further beyond.
