Singer-songwriter India Shawn has released her latest single and accompanying music video, “Gone”. The track continues Shawn’s signature style of self-empowering and relatable storytelling.
Co-written by Shawn with D’Mile, Bianca “Blush” Atterbery, and Jean Baptiste Kouame, “Gone” features production from Oscar® and Grammy®-winning producer D’Mile. The song’s unique sound incorporates elements like surf guitars, whistling, and a climactic piano solo, which Shawn says is meant to embody a feeling of freedom.
In a statement, Shawn described the song’s theme: “‘Gone’ isn’t just about someone leaving, it’s about what I gain in their absence. Peace. Clarity. Strength… It’s me learning that being alone isn’t lonely when you’re finally honest about what you deserve.”
The cinematic, neo-Western-style music video was directed by David Maxwell and complements the song’s liberating message.
India Shawn is currently on tour, supporting acts Free Nationals and Giveon.
