New Years Day release Ash Costello’s personal “anthem”, Half Black Heart

Ahead of next month’s new album Half Black Heart, New Years Day have just unveiled the record’s title-track.
The song is described by vocalist Ash Costello as her personal “anthem”, and it’s about the fact that “no-one is purely one thing”.
“Nobody is so flawless that they have the right to pass judgment on someone else’s flaws,” the singer explains. “We all exist as a mix of good and bad, innocence and guilt, a bit angelic and a bit devilish. The message is rooted in the idea that ‘he who is without sin can cast the first stone’, meaning that no-one is in a position to judge, because everyone makes mistakes.
“I don’t believe in the idea of a flawless human being, and this song is my way of addressing those who may expect perfection from me. Essentially, it’s a declaration that neither I nor anyone else will ever be perfect.”
Half Black Heart – the album – is due out on March 1 via Century Media. Watch the video below:
