Nashville-based singer-songwriter Holly Bruce unveils her deeply personal and evocative new single, "Sober," ahead of her highly anticipated album release. This indie pop and folk-infused track delves into the complex dynamics of addiction and emotional sobriety, drawing from Bruce's own turbulent experiences in a long-term, codependent relationship.
"Sober" is a raw and honest anthem that captures the painful realization of being emotionally dependent on a person who was unavailable and drifting away. Holly Bruce wrote the song as a means to process her feelings about someone who chose to "medicate" rather than be present in their relationship. Through this songwriting journey, she uncovered her own struggles with emotional sobriety and the difficulty of letting go.
"Initially, I wrote 'Sober' to process my feelings about someone who chose to 'medicate' instead of being available for our relationship," Bruce explains. "Through writing the song, I uncovered my own lack of emotional sobriety and an inability to let go. Thankfully, with support and healing programs, I've been able to address these patterns."
With a background in Music Composition from the San Francisco Conservatory and a lifelong dedication to the healing arts, Holly Bruce's music transcends mere entertainment. Her melodies, crafted by ear from an early age, resonate deeply with listeners, inviting them into a world of vulnerability and resilience. Bruce's profound emotional depth is evident in every note, making "Sober" a powerful testament to her innate talent and introspective songwriting.
Holly Bruce aims to inspire others to embrace self-care, resilience, and the transformative power of love through her music. As she continues her musical journey, she is expanding her reach by exploring opportunities to place her music in television and film. Her evocative storytelling and heartfelt lyrics make her an artist to watch, and "Sober" is a poignant example of her ability to connect with listeners on a deeply emotional level.
