Ariel Arbisser’s brand new single, “The Deep,” is out now.

This track paves the way for her forthcoming album, “Ingenue Corrupt,” set to debut on January 19th. A funky and dark track, crafted in collaboration with Harry Nichols, “The Deep” promises to be a captivating prelude to the artist’s sophomore album.

“The Deep” delves into the intense realm of all-consuming experiences, acting as a thematic entry point to an album rooted in the aftermath of therapy and healing. Born from the processing of healing and overcoming trauma, the song explores crucial themes such as ending victim-blaming, reclaiming autonomy, rediscovering joy, and bravely choosing love and connection.

Arbisser shares insights into the inspiration behind “The Deep,” describing it as a song about significant mistakes and experimentation in various aspects of life. The universal nature of the track is emphasized, touching on experiences in relationships, work, life, and even the experiments we undertake, perhaps inspired by a TikTok recipe.

Collaborating with the highly talented Harry Nichols, the song mirrors the exploration of entering the wrong relationship, recounting moments of conscious experimentation that lead to the realization of drowning in the experience. The lyrics, powerful and poignant, reflect the artist’s journey through an abusive relationship and the subsequent healing process.

Arbisser’s personal evolution, detailed over the past three years, is showcased in “The Deep.”

Her transformation from confronting abuse to embracing embodiment and sensuality is evident, reflecting strength drawn from therapy, extensive journaling, and the support of loved ones.

Hailing from Ithaca, Ariel Arbisser seamlessly blends contemporary pop with a nostalgic touch, characterizing her musical journey as “dramatic electro pop.” Drawing inspiration from artists like Sara Bareilles, Adele, Alice Russell, and Laura Nyro, her music authentically taps into the intricate fabric of human emotion.

Ariel Arbisser, a white, Jewish, queer woman, uses her artistic platform to initiate discussions on societal issues, as seen in “Ingenue Corrupt,” where she explores love, lust, sub/dom relationship dynamics, and confronts socio-political events of the past three years.

“The Deep” not only has a rich and meaningful story but also showcases Arbisser’s ability to create catchy and funky songs.
