Indigo De Souza says her new album, ‘All of This Will End,’ is all about radical acceptance of hard feelings. “One of the most poignant things... is the constant learning and growing with other people, moving through the parts that hurt.”
There’s righteous anger, too, the prodigal piece in the puzzle of closure. Where De Souza might have once emphasized her own inadequacy in an imbalanced relationship — “I want to believe that you’ve got a good heart,” she sang on 2018’s “Good Heart” — she’s beginning to step into her power with a biting conviction. “I’d like to think you’ve got a good heart and your dad was just an asshole growing up,” she smirks on “You Can Be Mean. “But I don’t see you trying that hard to be better than he is.
“Going from that kind of era into the ‘You Can Be Mean’ era felt important,” she says. “At some point I just realized that I could have boundaries…I don’t have to continue putting myself in horrible situations.”control: the people we surround ourselves with, the love we choose to give and receive. “One of the most poignant things there is is the constant learning and growing with other people, moving through the parts that hurt a lot,” De Souza says.
It’s a lifelong growth process, but the result is a newfound sense of warmth that’s infiltrated even De Souza’s physical world. “I used to like cool colors,” she says. “When I was feeling more depressed and wasn’t doing as well, I really was into blues and greens.” Now, her bedroom is showered in shades of red and orange, like the ones in the desert scene on the cover of, painted by her mother, Kimberly Oberhammer. “It’s so contrasted from the other two albums,” she adds.
