Italian pop rocker, Halflives, has today released her highly anticipated new EP, ‘How Much A Heart Can Take Before It Breaks, via Still Standing.
Speaking of her new EP Linda Battilani of Halflives shares, “This is the most political work I’ve ever put out. The older I get, the less it’s just about me and my personal struggles – it’s more about me in the world, what surrounds me, and what affects more than just myself. It’s funny how you only start noticing these things as you grow up, and it’s given me a lot to think about. When you’re young, it’s all about your feelings, your angst. But as you get older, your concerns expand, and this EP reflects that. I wish I could go back to being a teenager, when I didn’t have to worry about what’s happening in the world – but I do, so I wrote an EP about it.”
Talking on the musical approach she continues, “At the same time, there’s a strong influence from my teenage self in the sound. It’s like younger me and grown-up me came together to make music. There’s that raw rock energy from my early years, but with a new perspective and a more mature approach. The older me brought deeper topics to the table, a wiser way of writing lyrics, and a way to make it all more relatable.‘How Much a Heart Can Take Before It Breaks’ is my favorite work I’ve done for Halflives, and I’m really proud of it.”
