Indigo De Souza – Heartthrob

Indigo De Souza opens her next chapter with this volcanic from her upcoming album Precipice, out July 25 on Loma Vista.

Written as a way to process personal trauma, “Heartthrob” takes the language of pop and weaponises it. There’s sarcasm laced into every hook, and power pulsing beneath the gloss. De Souza doesn’t hide behind metaphor—she bulldozes right through it. The track pulls from her history of using music as emotional exorcism, but this time it’s all muscle. No maybes, no whispers.

Behind the scenes, De Souza worked with producer Elliott Kozel, letting the songs emerge naturally through collaboration—something that paid off in the song’s lived-in punch. You can feel the weight of experience in the vocal delivery, but the production stays sharp, even buoyant. This is empowerment through confrontation, not retreat.

“Heartthrob” lands at a time when Indigo is, once again, rebuilding—after hurricane flooding wiped out much of her home, after a relentless few years of touring and change. But rather than dwell in the wreckage, she made something that dares to be euphoric, even if it’s clenched in a fist.
