North Carolina–based singer-songwriter Rosali has released a new single called ‘Hey Heron’. The track is now available across streaming platforms after being featured exclusively on Cardinals at the Window, a compilation fundraising for Helene relief efforts in Western North Carolina. Listen to it below.
“Although it was written two years prior, the imagery of the song took on a powerful newness that it only felt appropriate to offer it up as a first listen to raise funds for the recovery efforts,” Rosali Middleman said in a statement.
She added: “It’s a reflection on our existence and interconnectedness with all things. I was seeking answers to sadness and suffering while walking the river path daily, speaking to the trees, the rocks, and the birds. I found solace in the practice and learned to trust in the timing within my life. And what a joy to witness—to imagine oneself as a droplet, or an ancient stone carved by the rushing water, to be part of the whole. And within these great cycles, there are ups and downs, light and dark, and lessons and inspiration.”
Rosali released Bite Down, her Merge Records debut, earlier this year. Check out our Artist Spotlight interview with Rosali.
