Breakout artist Sarah Kinsley has just released her new song, Last Time We Never Meet Again. This is the first song from her new album Escaper which is set to release on September 6 on Verve Forecast – Pre-order/pre-save the album HERE. Self-described as possibly her most vulnerable song on the record, the track takes inspiration from the end of a friendship. “The song is meant to be celebratory,” Sarah details, “but it’s trying to make something that is really sincerely a goodbye—the closing of all these worlds that you inhabit with the people you love. A celebratory goodbye.”   Kinsley recently confirmed she’ll embark on a headline tour across North America, the U.K. and Europe in support of the new music, kicking off September 15 and including stops at New York City’s Webster Hall, two evenings at Los Angeles’ Troubadour and more.
