Singer-songwriter Harriette is a 23-year-old from Texas (and now based in Brooklyn) who will release her debut EP, I Heart The Internet, on April 27th via AWAL Recordings.
She channels a reflective hometown energy on her single “Goodbye Texas” which channels a southern influence through a genre-bending sound that features a glowing vibrant energy with elements of indie folk, rock, and pop.
Speaking on the track, she adds:
“I wrote ‘Goodbye Texas’ two years ago as I was driving out of Texas after Christmas. I lived there for 18 years and always felt like I stuck out. As I got older it seemed like everything I wanted to achieve was going to happen elsewhere. It came to a point where I really needed to take some space from being home and this song was my key to the door out.” She continues, The song was surprisingly easy to write, it felt like everything I wanted to say came out so naturally. It was easy to recall what I have always admired about the state – the sunsets, wide open spaces, bluebonnets and yellow roses. But just like the song explains, the sunsets became too hot, the spaces weren’t green anymore and I felt like the bluebonnets had forgotten my name.”
