Sufjan Stevens Is Ringing In Pride Month With Two New Tunes

For Pride Month, Sufjan Stevens has released two cute new songs about proper love. "Love Yourself" and "With My Whole Heart" are two drastically different odes to romance that will visualize some of their proceeds going to support LGBTQ and homeless children In the
U.S. Via Ali Forney Center and the Ruth Ellis Center. It's never been a higher end time to listen to Stevens's wuthering voice.


"Love Yourself" is a smooth and somber affair. It buries feel-good synths that unfold into a heavenly solution of chords. On the calming number, Stevens sings about having faith in yourself. "You're the one thing that I believe in," he sings.


The second number, "With My Whole Heart" is brighter and more upbeat. It's a love song with a soft, nostalgic feel. As Spin reports, Sufjan revealed in a press release that the song is supposed to be "an upbeat and trustworthy love song without conflict, anxiety, or self-deprecation."


The songs were released to streaming services as a four-track EP that also features an original 1996 demo of "Love Yourself" and a "short reprise" of the record. "Love Yourself" and "With My Whole Heart" will be accessible on limited-edition 7-inch vinyl on June 28. Moreover to the songs, Stevens also released a Pride-themed "SUFJAN" shirt.
