A Self-directed Music Video featuring Bird and Her Sister Follows the Release!
November 6, 2026 (Santa Monica, CA) – Singer/songwriter/guitarist Towa Bird has released a new song, “Deep Blue,” which draws out a more thoughtful side of one of rock’s most irresistible new voices. The track arrived via Interscope Records, following Bird’s Gentleman Tour, which took place earlier this fall. Listen to “Deep Blue” HERE!
“Deep Blue” debuted across Bird’s headline tour, where it drew an eager response from the fans and became a fan favorite! The song allows room for a delicate kind of intensity while holding onto the natural edge that has made Bird such a dazzling presence.
The song, written by Towa Bird, Patrick Wimberly, and Donna Missal and produced by Wimberly, is about Bird’s sister Cat and their bond. The companion music video, which was directed by Bird, dropped with the single and is a moving portrait of Towa and her sister. Watch HERE!
“‘Deep Blue’ is a song about my sister Cat. It is about our bond, seeing each other through major live events and feeling emotionally tethered no matter the distance,” says Towa.
The release of “Deep Blue” follows Gentleman, Bird’s acclaimed sophomore album. An aware subversion of the traditional archetype, Gentleman remodels the term as an emblem of queer confidence and romance. The album moves past the tightly composed alt-pop of Bird’s first album, American Hero, landing with a breathtaking collision of attitude and atmosphere.
In a recent article by The New York Times, Bird was praised for her ability to “shred with the pop stars and the riot grrrls.” Rolling Stone commended Bird’s “fearless songwriting,” they wrote “[After] the unrivaled confidence of her debut release, the guitar hero has managed to tap into more self-assured energy.”
ABOUT TOWA BIRD
The half-Filipino, half-English artist who spent a large portion of her childhood between Thailand and London, Towa Bird first grabbed a guitar at age 12, learning to play by playing along to The Kinks, The Who, and other bands from her father’s record collection. She formed her first band at 14, playing at dive bars and street festivals in Hong Kong before going to study at Goldsmiths, University of London. She then left school after two years to pursue music; her career began with producing and co-writing for other artists.
She made her debut with her 2024 album, American Hero, which is a close exploration of queerness, identity, and the difficulties of love. Her album gained acclaim from Billboard, Vanity Fair, DAZED, and Rolling Stone, who named it a “collection of 13 succinct pop-punk punches to the chin.” She has toured all across North America and Europe with Reneé Rapp and supported Billie Eilish’s “HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR.” Bird’s sophomore album, Gentleman, which was produced by Patrick Wimberly (MGMT, Blood Orange) and features Bikini Kill’s Kathleen Hanna, is an aware subversion of the traditional archetype.
Previously the face of luxury fashion house Miu Miu, Bird has been featured on the covers of Vogue Philippines, NME, Dork, Re-Edition, Highsnobiety, Gay Times, and more.
