Canadian starlet Housewife (aka Brighid Fry) returns today with a sensational new single, intriguingly called ‘Divorce’.
The track was inspired by the intense feelings of heartbreak that the artist once experienced and translates the power of those emotions into a raw and gritty yet elevated piece of shoegaze music. Elaborating on the lyrics, Fry says:
“‘Divorce’ is a really personal one for me- I wrote it after experiencing really bad heartbreak that kind of blindsided me and completely uprooted me. It’s about not only mourning the person and the relationship you have with them, but also the life you were building together. It’s about starting to rebuild and the struggle between needing to protect yourself, but also not wanting to be involved in something adversarial with someone who has hurt you. The process of making this song was completely different than any others of mine- it was written in about half an hour which is definitely the fastest I’ve ever managed. I then took my time to record it though, co-producing with my friend Hans Li over the course of about a month. We slowly recorded everything ourselves in his bedroom. It’s the first track I have co-produced in years which I’m really excited about.”
Despite being only 21 years of age, Housewife has already garnered over three million catalogue streams on Spotify to date, while also attracting more than 17k monthly listeners on the platform. ‘Divorce’ is lifted from the acclaimed musician’s next EP, which is scheduled for release next spring.
