TONI Sancho has shared her debut single ‘Survive!’ – an honest and deeply moving ode to self-support and moving on.

Released via Spanish Prayers, the label helmed by Cigarettes After Sex, the London-via-Trinidad artist arrives with a quietly distinctive sound. Her rich vocals glide over a sun-kissed instrumental – delicately crafted yet evoking a spirit of strong-willed survival and perseverence. Emotional yet bearing an endearing, sunny disposition, the track highlights her poetic touch and deft attention to detail.

“‘Survive!’ is about recognising when a situation isn’t good for you and having the wisdom to walk away. I started to understand that I had to let that love die so that I could keep going & that there is joy and hope in choosing yourself even when it feels so painful at first.”
