Pariah

The first single from Steven Wilson's To the Bone, released May 9, 2017, with Ninet Tayeb sharing lead vocals.
Ninet Tayeb, from To the Bone (Steven Wilson) (2017)

Wilson wrote it and he and Paul Stacey produced; Wikipedia lists the genre as pop rock and post-rock. The two singers alternate lead vocals, with Wilson also on guitar, bass and keyboards, Adam Holzman on piano and Craig Blundell on drums. The video appeared on May 18, 2017. AllMusic's Thom Jurek compared it to Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush's "Don't Give Up" and praised Tayeb's emotionally authoritative refrain, and Drowned in Sound's Benjamin Bland said it makes the most of the excellent vocal support of Ninet Tayeb. Metal Injection said the lyrics fit the album's concept of modern paranoia, sorrow and dependence on technology. We found no Wilson statement on the meaning, no live history and no covers.
