Housewife is the project of Toronto-based singer-songwriter Brighid Fry, who returned late last year with her new single “Divorce” ahead of a new EP due this Spring.
The track has an emotive and dreamy alt indie pop sound with traces of some great 90s tracks, blended with a vibrant and colorful nature that blends in a magical fashion with the infectious build and delivery of the track that carries elements of artists like Hatchie.
Speaking about the song she adds:
“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.”
