little bit has unveiled a new single, ‘long drive’, from her upcoming debut EP talk a blue streak – out this Friday (September 20) via Hit the North Records. It follows earlier cuts ‘out to dry’, ‘lying to you’, ‘lead you on’, and ‘on the mend’. Check it out below.
Discussing the new song, Hannah Liuzzo shared in a statement:
I wrote “long drive” when I was falling in love with the west coast, reluctantly straddling both ends of the country and feeling very emotionally bi-costal. I’d been traveling and living semi-nomadically for a year, and the idea of committing to a single place was overwhelming, but I felt a draw to the mountains and coast line in Oregon and California that I couldn’t quiet. Moving from Boston, a city where I had lifelong friends, family, an established band, and a vibrant music scene felt like turning my back on my roots and abandoning a place I truly loved. But the idea of starting over in a new city was exciting and scary, and I knew that if I didn’t leave the place I grew up to write a new chapter, I’d always regret it.
Serendipitously, this song also revealed itself to me as a metaphor for my reluctance to plant roots in other people. The verses and pre-choruses of long drive are laced with skepticism, while the choruses are a full surrender, a desire to jump into the unknown and take a new experience as it comes.
