Faye Webster Releases New Single “But Not Kiss” & Announces North American Tour

Today, Faye Webster has released her first new single in 2 years. “But Not Kiss” towers as a modern love song, steeped in the in-between feelings where romantic longing crashes into ambivalence, with an explosive piano hook the song oscillates between Webster’s near-whispered intimacies and a stunning, maximal arrangement. “I think it could be a really romantic song or a really anti-romantic song,” explains Webster. “It’s something I’ve looked for but struggled to find in other love songs, for them to describe this conflict or contradiction.” Along with the new single, Webster has released a companion music video directed by Kyle Ng of Brain Dead and filmed at Los Angeles’ famed Bob Baker Marionette Theatre.
