Sweet Pill’s sophomore album, Still There’s a Glow, is a hard-fought document of self-reflection and growth. It is raw and real, stacked with a lyrical honesty that’s matched by singer Zayna Youssef’s soaring, expressive vocals. Written and recorded in the wake of a whirlwind three years following their 2022 debut LP, Where the Heart Is—and after scrapping essentially an entire album’s worth of demos—Still There’s a Glow is a dynamic, cathartic journey of making conscious change within oneself.

“Half the album was written before and the other half after, so the songs are kind of hard on myself but some are also hopeful, with a light at the end of the tunnel. You put out a fire, there’s still an ember that’s still glowing - that’s the record. It’s about being at a low and climbing out of it.” says Youssef

This is where Still There’s a Glow really begins. The entire undertaking marked a shift in Sweet Pill’s creative dynamic: their first release written entirely as a group. From the first note, it sounds like a band that has put itself back together, with lyrics that feel deeply determined in the face of daily struggles with pressure and self-doubt.

Still There’s a Glow captures a time marked by change and progression, about the hurdle of being kind to yourself, making good choices for yourself, and being honest and vulnerable.
