  "account": "New York-based singer-songwriter serpentwithfeet is set to release a new EP titled Sentinel on December 4. This marks the artist's debut as a One Little Independent Records signee, following a decade of releases on Secretly Canadian. The lead single, \"Sentinel,\" is a reverent love song influenced by sea shanties and serpentwithfeet's gospel roots and can be heard now. While crafting the track, serpentwithfeet pondered themes of homoeroticism and the dynamics of patriarchy, explaining that \"men instinctively know their role\" within societal structures. This exploration of power dynamics led to the EP's title and inspired tracks like \"Henchmen\" and \"Invocation.\" Sentinel follows the artist's 2024 album GRIP.",
