LA-born alt-R&B artist India Shawn has released her new single and video for “Gone” - watch here. Written with D’Mile, Bianca “Blush” Atterbery and Jean Baptiste Kouame, ‘Gone’ continues Shawn’s self-empowering and relatable style of penning memorable and instantly catchy storytelling. The production is loaded with unexpected gems – surf guitars, whistling, clapping, and culminates with a piano solo that embodies a feeling of freedom when you regain your sense of self. The video was directed by David Maxwell and gives a neo-Western cinematic scope to the Soul/Pop anthem, and highlights Shawn’s liberating and empowering vocals.
India says, "'Gone’ isn’t just about someone leaving, it’s about what I gain in their absence. Peace. Clarity. Strength. This song is about being more than okay alone—it's about finally feeling powerful in it. 'Gone’ is about releasing what doesn’t serve you—not in bitterness, but in clarity. It’s me learning that being alone isn’t lonely when you’re finally honest about what you deserve. I wrote it from that moment where you stop fighting to fix something that keeps breaking you, and instead, you choose yourself. Sonically, I wanted to break out of my own box with this song. D’Mile and I kept pushing until it felt bigger than just a pretty track—it had to feel like an anthem for finally walking away and not looking back.”
India has long been an artist’s artist; as well as penning hits for others and performing alongside Anderson.Paak & The Free Nationals and Ye’s Sunday Service, India has worked closely with Unknown Mortal Orchestra, 6LACK (who took her on tour last year, with shows in Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, Stockholm & Oslo) Alex Isley, El Debarge, Keri Hilson, Monica & many more. Her critically acclaimed album Before We Go (Deeper) cemented her as a powerhouse in alternative R&B, earning praise from Billboard, NPR, UPROXX, and Noisey.
