It was her honest expression of pain, heartbreak, bitterness, vulnerability, and longing that made projects like “you ruined New York City for me” and “The S(EX) Tapes” so resonant.
It is her honest approach to recovery that makes new single “Healing” so compelling.
Though it may make for catchy hooks and attractive Instagram captions, the idea of the instant bounce back is rather elusive in reality. People generally do not just snap their fingers and regain their hope, confidence, swagger, and glee. It takes patience and self-discovery to come to terms with the past and begin embracing the future.
FLETCHER documents this reality brilliantly in the new single. She then amplifies the powerful theme with her signature pop sensibility and vocal prowess, yielding an immensely effective record.
The new single is not receiving the full-fledged promo treatment, but it has been finding an audience. By the close of Monday (its fourth day in the market), “Healing” had amassed over 1 million global streams on the Spotify platform.
