Pickle Darling leans into luminous vulnerability on ‘Massive Everything’
Christchurch-based artist Pickle Darling returns with ‘Massive Everything,’ a shimmering new single released via Father/Daughter Records.
Marking their first original material since a delicate Postal Service cover with The Beths in 2023, ‘Massive Everything’ sees Pickle Darling step into their version of pop maximalism. The track is awash in bright synths and gentle drum machine pulses, embracing a kind of lush emotional openness that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant.
Pickle Darling shares:
“Maybe the first kind of ‘pop’ song I’ve ever made. And I think the most lyrically direct too, there’s no poetry or cleverness to it, I felt strongly about clear communication this time. I love Robyn, Ray of Light-era Madonna, Cher, Donna Lewis, I love those kinds of ‘empathetic’ pop songs that feel like a hug from a friend.”
With ‘Massive Everything,’ Pickle Darling finds clarity in emotional complexity, delivering a pop song that wraps its truth in warmth and synths.
