Blair West releases new single

Hailing from New York City, Blair West is a singer-songwriter making her own brand of folk pop music. After spending most of her adult life coming up with reasons not to share her music with others, when she eventually ran out of excuses she made the decision to capture her sonic vision and share it with the world.

With the first offering of her work, she released her debut single “All this to Say” earlier this year, making an impact straight away and racking up tens of thousands of streams. Now she brings us her sophomore single with her brand new track titled “Rabbit Holes”.

The lyrics for “Rabbit Holes” were originally penned in a poem by Blair as some of her earliest writing and offer the most personal pieces of her as an artist from her work to date. Spinning a relatable love story that her listeners can easily connect with, while also maintaining the quirks that make it special and intimate for her own story, on her second single Blair West crafts a delicate and moving soundscape.

Full of a minimalist arrangement of intricately plucked guitar and subtle atmospheric touches, “Rabbit Holes” showcases Blair West’s stunning songwriting talent, with her vocal prowess carrying beautiful melodies to weave an elegant and memorable song.

Commenting on the single, she shares, “As far as the sound, the song was originally a more upbeat ballad, but I decided to slow it down so the lyrics could breathe, and that’s when it all clicked. I wrote the simple guitar lick you hear throughout and the whole thing came together in just a few minutes. I decided to title it rabbit holes, which is a favourite expression of mine, and I thought it reflected the song perfectly. An Alice in Wonderland-esque fairytale. A love song through the looking glass.”
