My second single 'Fire Song' is out this Friday, a My second single 'Fire Song' is out this Friday, and I wanted to talk about what it means to me. 

Fire Song is about feeling trapped in comfortable monotony, and the life that others expected for you - feeling that calling for something more, and finally setting yourself free by burning it all down and emerging from the flames as a stronger, more authentic self. This echoes the journey I've taken with my music career - after years of fear, self-doubt, and feeling trapped in the comfortable safety of a corporate job, this year I finished writing my debut album, worked with a producer and studio to bring it to life, and started releasing music and performing again. This track represents my first steps on a journey out of the dark, a journey towards the place – and person - I’m meant to be. 

If you've ever felt a call for something greater, if you've ever felt like a wild thing trapped in a gilded cage, if you've ever wanted to burn your life down to set yourself free ... this song is for you. 

Pre-save now at the link in my bio - it would mean a lot to me.

Had a wonderful time in Copenhagen last weekend - Had a wonderful time in Copenhagen last weekend - it was lovely to unwind and explore after a busy month! Highlights included: 

🇩🇰 Tivoli Gardens - a mini theme park in the city centre with beautiful gardens, and some surprisingly intense rides 
🇩🇰 @cisternerne, an underground art exhibition housed in an abandoned water reservoir 
🇩🇰 a canal tour through Nyhavn 
🇩🇰 the best Indian meal I've ever had, at @zahidacph
🇩🇰 Carlsberg art museum (nothing to do with the beer, afaik)
🇩🇰 seeing the city from the top of Church of Our Saviour, a beautiful baroque Church (we also heard the carillon while we were inside the church spire, which was very special)

Happy 1 month birthday to my debut single 'Frustra Happy 1 month birthday to my debut single 'Frustrations'! The response has been amazing - thank you all so much, your support means the world to me. 'Frustrations' was my first release after a long break from making music due to mental health issues, and for me, it represents the first step on a journey out of the dark, a journey towards the place I’m meant to be (read more about what this song means to me on my blog - link in bio).

 'Frustrations' also feels (unfortunately) prescient given all that’s going on in the world right now – Russia/Ukraine, constant attacks on abortion rights and LGBT rights in the US, the cost of living crisis, Tory corruption, trans rights being rolled back… We live in a world that doesn’t care for us, and during its worst periods every day feels like a fight, like a bare-knuckle brawl that leaves us bruised and exhausted. In the midst of all this darkness and burnout, a song that I created a few months ago comes out, a song about my anger and sadness and overwhelm in the face of an uncaring world. But it’s also a message to keep going, to get back up and keep fighting. If you’ve struggled with these feelings too, I hope the song speaks to you, and offers you some comfort that we’re not alone, and we are on the right side of history. 

Stay well. Raise hell. ✊️
