ESSIE’s latest single ”Big Cities” released on September 27th, 2023, showcases her ability to delve into more intimate and introspective territory. While ESSIE’s earlier work, like Limitless and All of This, leaned into her signature blues-infused indie rock sound, ”Big Cities” presents a moodier and more reflective side of the artist. The song captures the emotional tug-of-war between the excitement of big city life and the longing for home, a theme that resonates with many who have moved away from their roots.
ESSIE’s raw, soulful voice takes center stage, reminiscent of legends like Janis Joplin and Stevie Nicks, yet still distinctly her own. The stripped-back production highlights her powerful vocals and evocative lyrics, creating an intimate atmosphere that feels deeply personal. There’s a vulnerability in this track that draws listeners in, making ”Big Cities” a standout in her evolving catalog.
This release is a testament to ESSIE’s growth as an artist, as she continues to push boundaries while staying true to her rock and roll roots. Follow ESSIE on social media and add ”Big Cities” to your playlist for a reflective journey through cityscapes and longing.
