Out now via Physical Presents, ‘LOVESICK’ is available to listen to across all streaming platforms.

The energetic tune kicks off with a filtered beat, ethereally setting the atmospheric ambiance for the remainder of the nearly two-and-a-half minute sonic endeavor. Rhythmically alluring in all the best ways audibly possible, the four-on-the-floor track also distinctly features a canorous vocal performance that glides and flows throughout its entirety. The head-over-heels feeling one gets when falling in love is precisely encapsulated, courtesy of Diamond’s emotionally-charged lyricism. Hefty basslines, infectiously enticing production elements, and an enthralling flair unlike anything else heard before it characterize the rest of the euphonic release, making it a quintessential addition to the renowned Physcial Presents label.

"Sara Diamond was the only artist off the project in which the song wasn’t made live together in person as we were living in separate countries during a pandemic. We finally got to meet and finish our song together in Los Angeles once restrictions were lifted which felt like a full circle moment. She is one of the most talented writers and vocalists I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Our track ‘LOVESICK’ is a very fun and vibey song that blends indie dance and pop. The track releases at the perfect time as weather starts to warm up, festivals & shows open up, and friends can dance together again. The song actually started as a basic demo that I was fortunate enough to write with a friend that I met when I was only 12 years old, giving it lots of sentimental value to me. I’m super excited to share this song and get closer to the whole project being released!" - Kelland
