{"product_id":"smitten","title":"Smitten","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcclaimed Manchester-based pop-rock outfit Pale Waves burst onto the scene back in 2018 with the runaway success of their debut album \u003ci\u003eMy Mind Makes Noises\u003c\/i\u003e. Two top five albums later and an outpouring of support from the likes of BBC Radio 1, Apple Music, Spotify, NME, and more, the band are back with a newfound maturity to accompany their fourth studio album \u003ci\u003eSmitten\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile Pale Waves’ first three albums focussed on the band’s immediate present, \u003ci\u003eSmitten\u003c\/i\u003e is a lot more preoccupied with past lives – some more recent than others. Written two years after \u003ci\u003eUnwanted\u003c\/i\u003e, and after the tour that followed, Heather found herself in a headspace where she could finally breathe, and reflect, like peeling through the pages of a long-forgotten teenage diary and being surprised by what she found. “I found myself writing about not just a certain time period, but my whole life, from years ago,” she says. “When I fall in love, I fall deep, and it’s interesting to me that you can feel so fascinated and smitten with someone and then they can become a total stranger. So I feel like \u003ci\u003eSmitten\u003c\/i\u003e really summarised perfectly what I felt for others at a certain point.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dirty Hit","offers":[{"title":"Blue LP","offer_id":50532114596171,"sku":"2205142","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red LP","offer_id":50532112367947,"sku":"2205141","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50532110500171,"sku":"2205140","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Pale_Waves_20.09.24_ce264b22_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1728114567","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/smitten","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
