Third Girl From The Left reemerges with the hauntingly beautiful single 'Hollowed'

Exeter’s Third Girl From The Left has never been interested in quick fixes or shallow hooks; her songs have always felt like slow-burning lanterns, throwing strange light on the darker corners of alt-pop. And after a two-year silence, she breaks cover with 'Hollowed', a single that proves distance can deepen an artist’s voice.

From the first swell of synth, there’s a sense of suspended breath. The arrangement moves in wide arcs, while subtle electronic pulses keep the heart rate steady. In the middle of it all is that voice: intimate one moment, arching skyward the next, carrying equal parts ache and resolve.

Production choices underline the song’s restless spirit. Reverb-soaked textures drift in and out like passing headlights; percussion lands in small, carefully placed detonations. There’s also space here, where echoes, pauses, and moments enter throughout. And it’s that restraint that hits hardest, where every element feels necessary, and nothing is overstated.

For now, 'Hollowed' stands on its own as a beautifully unsettling reminder that pop can still surprise, and that Third Girl From The Left remains one of the genre’s more compelling songwriters on the rise.
