VILLFORTH returns on 7 November with ‘Blue’, a striking new single that marks a bold moment in her evolution as both songwriter and storyteller. It arrives alongside her new EP Superhuman, a project shaped by months of emotional shifts, personal reflection, and the small turning points that force you to slow down and face yourself. ‘Blue’ opens this chapter with tenderness and tension, setting the tone for a release built on clarity and lived experience.
‘Blue’ studies the courage it takes to open yourself up while battling uncertainty. VILLFORTH describes it as “a hymn for vulnerability,” and that phrase captures its heart. The song moves through the early stages of trust, when connection feels magnetic yet fragile, and when fear sits close behind every spark of hope. She reflects on the pull toward someone new and the instinct to protect yourself at the same time, especially when you worry they might not be who they seem.
From the first verse, her voice sits close and warm. The production leaves space for each lyric to land, allowing the story to unfold at a steady pace. The arrangement supports her rather than overwhelming her, giving the song a quiet strength that suits its emotional weight. Nothing distracts from the core message. Instead, the track leans into simplicity, letting honesty carry the moment.
A chapter shaped by real life
‘Blue’ leads directly into Superhuman, which also releases on 7 November. The EP mirrors the last few months of VILLFORTH’s life, with each song representing a different phase of the emotional landscape she has moved through. Together, the tracks form a narrative built on heartbreak, recovery, humour, longing, and the cautious hope that arrives with new beginnings. The sequence feels purposeful, reflecting a journey rather than a collection of separate stories.
‘Chop Suey’ sits at the start of that journey. It carries heartbreak with clarity, turning a painful memory into something grounded and relatable. The song feels like a point of no return, the moment where you realise something has ended and you cannot go back. It sets the emotional tone for what follows, showing the honesty that runs through the entire EP.
Next comes ‘Twenty Something’, which shifts toward recovery. It reflects the effort it takes to move forward when life feels unpredictable. The track acknowledges frustration but still pushes toward light. VILLFORTH captures the confusion and promise of this age with openness, balancing doubt with a faint sense of optimism.
Then the title track arrives. ‘Superhuman’ looks at life through a comedic lens, poking fun at the expectation to hold everything together. The song adds levity without losing emotional depth, offering a refreshing change of pace within the EP. It shows how VILLFORTH can shift tone smoothly while keeping the same clear sense of self.
‘Two Bodies in the Same Room’ moves into yearning. It captures the bright intensity of a new crush, the kind that makes ordinary moments feel charged. The warmth of the song contrasts with the earlier heartbreak, showing how desire returns even when you think you have nothing left to give. It adds colour to the EP’s emotional arc, revealing a softer thread within the story.
Finally, ‘Blue’ closes the arc. Although it arrives first as a single, it sits last in the emotional sequence. The song looks at trust and fear from a more grounded place, shaped by everything VILLFORTH has already processed. It reflects the EP’s broader message rather than introducing it, suggesting that growth comes through understanding rather than avoidance. Ending with vulnerability gives Superhuman a sense of resolve without tying everything up too neatly.
A new phase for VILLFORTH
VILLFORTH steps into this release with focus and intention. Her writing feels shaped by real experiences rather than abstract ideas, and the EP carries the quiet confidence of someone who has paid attention to every feeling along the way. Together, the songs form a cohesive portrait of recent months, moving between moods while staying rooted in truth.
With ‘Blue’ and Superhuman, VILLFORTH signals a new phase in her career. Her voice carries character, warmth, and a steady presence that makes her stories resonate. The single introduces this era with honesty, while the EP promises a deeper look at the moments that shaped her year. This release feels like a clear step forward, built from real emotion and thoughtful craft.
