Es gibt nicht wenige Fans und Kritiker, die The Staves’ letztes, von Bon Iver produziertes Album "If I Was" in das ewige Pantheon der größten Klassiker einsortieren. Sie alle können sich freuen, dass die britischen Schwestern nun mit neuer Musik zurückkehren. Nach "Nazareth" im vergangenen Monat gibt es mit "Trying" einen weiteren Vorboten des kommenden Albums, an dem die Band derzeit arbeitet. 

Unten gibt es den Song zu hören, in dem die drei Schwestern über eine weiche Melodie aus Keyboardklängen und wogenden Orchesterklängen ihre vokale Magie zur Entfaltung bringen. Jessica, Camilla und Emily Staveley-Taylor produzierten den Song selbst. 

Inhaltlich dreht sich der Song um ein gesellschaftlich sehr aktuelles Thema – die zunehmende Schwierigkeit, miteinander zu reden, sich zuzuhören und Nachsicht zu üben: "I wanted to write a song about the state of things in the world and how broken our ability to communicate with each other had become as a society", kommentiert Emily Staveley-Taylor, "but it became impossible as I was writing to separate my personal life from the broader message. I was living in America away from my family in a relationship that was failing. The state of America (and in Britain for that matter) and the state of my relationship seemed to become one and the same. The song became far more about my own situation. I feel like trying is what we spend most of our lives doing really. Just trying our best. Trying to be better, to make things work. This was definitely a time where I was nearly tried out."
