Chicago-based band ‌Whitney is⁤ hitting the road for a ⁤North American ⁤tour in 2025,bringing their signature sound⁢ to ⁣fans across‌ the U.S.and Canada. The Whitney tour begins June‍ 12⁤ in Cleveland, ‌Ohio, ‌and includes stops in ⁤major cities like ⁢Boston, Salt lake City, and Washington, ‍D.C. The tour is scheduled‍ to conclude August 15 in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Alongside the ⁤tour announcement, Whitney​ has unveiled “Darling,” their first new Whitney music since their 2022​ album, Spark. The‍ track offers a taste of what fans can expect from the band’s evolving sound.

There’s ‌something to be⁤ said for ⁣a two-minute-or-less gem ‌that​ aims ‍for the heart. Songs like ‘Gonna hurry’ by Dolly Parton and ‘Take care’‌ by Big Star come ‍to mind—poignantly written goodbyes emphasized by the fact that ​both songs are over as fast as they‌ started. In ⁢the case⁣ of ⁣‘Darling’ ​the⁢ song transitions into a second act‍ that serves‍ to accept a‌ goodbye instead of leaving it up in the ⁤air, but we think‍ the song⁤ ultimately⁢ feels ‍like it’s over too soon in the best way possible.

Kakacek and Ehrlich elaborated on the inspiration behind ‌”Darling,”​ drawing ‌comparisons to ⁢concise and emotionally resonant songs by artists like Dolly⁣ Parton and ⁣Big Star. ​They emphasized the ⁣song’s brevity and its exploration of ⁤acceptance ​in ⁣the face of goodbye, making it ​a standout​ addition to their discography.Fans eagerly anticipate hearing “Darling” and other Whitney songs live during the upcoming tour.
