Helen Mac’s Precipice Thrives In The Space Between Vulnerability And Resolve
Every so often a record arrives that feels less like a performance and more like a conversation. Precipice, the new album from Manchester songwriter Helen Mac, carries that kind of atmosphere. Released via Now Listen, the album unfolds with the quiet confidence of someone who has spent years refining their voice and has something real to say.
The story behind the album adds depth without overshadowing the music. These songs were written over a long stretch of time and first explored in home recordings before being developed further during sessions at Oscillate Recordings. That path is reflected in the sound. The record feels polished where it needs to be, but it never loses the warmth of its early versions.
“Undergone” captures one of the album’s most important emotional shifts. The song looks back on the end of a difficult relationship, yet it carries a sense of moving forward. Rather than focusing on what was lost, the track leans into the possibility that follows a difficult decision. The result is both reflective and quietly uplifting.
Elsewhere, the title track explores the tension between strength and fatigue. “Precipice” examines the pressures of everyday life, pairing layered vocal textures with thoughtful songwriting. It is a moment of honesty that adds real weight to the album’s themes.
What remains with you after listening is the cohesiveness of the whole project. Precipice does not rush its ideas or overwhelm the listener with drama. Instead, Helen Mac allows each song to find its own shape, creating an album that feels open, sincere, and deeply considered.
Artist Prymrr returns tomorrow, October 6, 2026, with her powerful new single "Sick Of It," accompanied by an official music video that brings the song's themes of frustration, intensity, and breaking free. "Sick Of It" captures the feeling of reaching a breaking point and finally refusing to hold back. With an emotionally charged sound and Prymrr's unmistakable energy, the track transforms frustration into empowerment an anthem for anyone who has ever reached the point of saying, enough is enough.
The official music video takes a cinematic and immersive approach, utilizing a one-shot filming style inspired by the visual intensity and continuous-shot storytelling of Netflix's Adolescence. The uninterrupted camera movement creates an intimate, immediate experience, drawing viewers directly into Prymrr's world as the story unfolds. Visually, the video establishes a distinctive atmosphere through a black-and-white foundation, subtle muted earthy tones, and carefully placed pops of red. The restrained palette creates a raw, moody aesthetic, while the flashes of red heighten the emotion and intensity of key moments.
The release will also be followed by a special dance concept video, coming soon. The concept video features dancers from the hometown studio where Prymrr danced as a child, creating a meaningful full circle moment that connects her early dance roots with her evolution as an artist. The visual will also incorporate dancers from the studio, adding a personal touch and nod to the place where her journey began.
Choreographed by Dez Penn, the dance concept transforms "Sick Of It" into movement, using choreography to express the song's themes of tension, frustration, strength, and release. Bringing together dancers from Prymrr's hometown studio Penn Point Dance Academy makes the project especially personal, celebrating the foundation that helped shape her as a performer.
Together, the song, official music video, and upcoming dance concept present different sides of the same story: reaching your limit, confronting what has been holding you back, and just finding the strength. "Sick Of It" is about that moment when you stop explaining yourself and realize you've had enough," says Prymrr. "It's taking everything you've been holding in and finally letting it out."
"Sick Of It" and the official music video are out October 6, 2026, on all major streaming platforms and YouTube. The dance concept video is coming soon.
