Wisp has released a new single and video, Sword

Wisp has released her first new single of 2025, Sword.

Following a breakout 2024, and ahead of a massive year ahead including Coachella, Bonnaroo and supporting System Of A Down in stadiums, the Gen-Z shoegaze star is back with a new track that “represents the shame and confusion people feel when loved ones hide them from the world”.

Wisps adds: “It’s about not having a chance to shine because your partner keeps you in the dark.”

Watch the video for Sword below, which is the ‘first glimpse into her new world’:
