Mexican Summer 
Cate Le Bon’s New Single “Is It Worth It (Happy Birthday)?” Out Today
Following “Heaven Is No Feeling,” “Is It Worth It (Happy Birthday)?” serves as the album’s centerpiece, with Le Bon powerfully evoking the simultaneous universality and unknowability of love. Her admission “I thought about your mother / I hope she knew I loved her,” catches devastatingly in the chest.
Cate Le Bon’s new album Michelangelo Dying is a vivid grieving of a fantasy — a shimmering song cycle shaped by heartache and emotional abstraction. Her first new album since 2022’s monumental Pompeii, Michelangelo Dying is out September 26th via Mexican Summer, and the album’s second single, “Is It Worth It (Happy Birthday)?” is out now.
