She left her relationship, and started over. &#8216;More&#8217; is her first single to be released from her new EP, &#8216;Muse&#8217;, out 6 July. The song represents the struggles in a relationship: feeling frustrated, lonely, and misunderstood; as well as the calm after the storm, where the love for that person helps you to set aside all your differences.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Astha&#8217;s soothing, ethereal voice reminds us of the likes of Lana Del Rey and Florence Welch.
