| May 9, 2025 – Today, breakout indie-pop artist Aidan Bissett releases rollicking new single “2 much 2 handle,” a dedication to the thrill of burgeoning infatuation — stream HERE via Capitol Records and watch the visualizer HERE. The genre-blurring track is the latest taste of the rising singer-songwriter’s debut album shut up and love me, announced yesterday via social media, out July 25th. Pre-order HERE. Exploring the almost physically painful anticipation that accompanies a new connection, Bissett experiments with tempo and tone on “2 much 2 handle.” “On the table I was kissing your mouth, was it too much to handle?” he asks over jaunty piano and driving drums. “Told your daddy that I slept on the couch, but he’s smart enough to figure it out.” “This one feels like a stop-and-go rollercoaster,” says Bissett. “It captures the feeling of hitting your highest peaks and your lowest lows. It’s about anticipation — you’re going up and up, but the fall never happens.”That sense of suspended reality is reflected in the visualizer, which finds Bissett walking on a conveyor belt while people pass him by. Bissett has revealed two additional shut up and love me singles to date: “ricochet,” a subtly infectious song about toxic relationships; and the bursting, new wave-inflected “are we in love yet?” In addition to today’s announcements, Aidan has revealed his upcoming headlining tour across North America in support of shut up and love me kicking off on September 14thin San Diego, CA and closing on October 22nd in Los Angeles at The Fonda Theatre. The run of dates also include a stop in New York playing Irving Plaza. General ticket on-sale begins May 16th at 10AM local time. Full list of dates below.
