dexter in the newsagent releases "Edge Of The World", inspired by B.o.B and Hayley Williams

dexter in the newsagent has shared "Edge Of The World", her new single. The South London singer and producer previously put out the hand-clapping, upbeat "Fantasy" in September, and the new track moves toward a propulsive electronic backdrop paired with an almost childlike melody that recalls Y2K-era pop.

The artist points to a slightly later reference, though. She says the song came together after she spent time listening to "Airplanes", the B.o.B collaboration featuring Hayley Williams. dexter singled out how vivid that chorus is and how grand the lyrics feel inside the track, saying she wanted to make something that landed the same way.

Timing shaped the result as well. She wrote "Edge Of The World" immediately after her first ever mini tour, still riding the high of everything that had happened that week. The lyrics, by her account, are about feeling free and shedding whatever negativity leaves a person held back.

The release continues a steady run of new material from the artist, who has been rolling out singles across the year while building a sound that sits between electronic pop and 2010s alternative influences. "Edge Of The World" is out now on streaming services.
