Acclaimed singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist AK Patterson has released her powerful new single 'I Don’t Know How to Die'. The track marks a deeply personal chapter in the London-based artist’s career, confronting the struggles that have shaped her recent years, including losing her voice after a nervous breakdown and parting ways with her band of five years.
Blending raw emotion with her signature modern chamber pop sound, Patterson’s music is a haunting exploration of resilience. Often described as “Buckley with boobs” for her vocal prowess and introspective songwriting, Patterson’s style also channels the melancholic spirit of 90s Lilith Fair, crafting songs that shine light into the darkest corners of human experience.
“This isn’t a song about death or dying—it’s about never giving up,” Patterson explains. “I want people who feel like they’re in the darkest places to hear the hope in this song and find strength and courage to carry on. This year, I faced losing my voice for eight months due to burnout. During that time, I kept telling myself that even if I wanted to give up, I wouldn’t know how.”
