Acclaimed singer-songwriter India Shawn has officially announced her upcoming EP, SUBJECT TO CHANGE, scheduled for release on May 1 via VANTA Music. The announcement coincides with the debut of her latest single, “Rain On Me,” which serves as the artist’s first solo release of 2026.
Produced by Grammy and Oscar-winning producer D’Mile, “Rain On Me” features acoustic guitar arrangements paired with a driving bassline. Shawn describes the track as an exploration of abundance and security in love, focusing on the experience of being fully valued by a partner.
SUBJECT TO CHANGE is framed as a cohesive concept record that draws on the “unfiltered honesty” and “sophisticated sonics” Shawn has developed over the past decade. The EP builds upon the narrative established in her 2021 album, BEFORE WE GO, and its extended version, BEFORE WE GO (DEEPER).
This new material follows a year of significant momentum for the artist, which included the release of the singles “Kill Switch” and the Lucky Daye-assisted “Cotton Candy Blvd”.
