new single "hard to love"

available valentines day 2023

Piano-centric singer-songwriter Kristen Rae Bowden explores a new era of adulthood with an indie pop sound on her new single “Hard to Love”. Inspired by a crippling fear of intimacy in her early thirties, Bowden is offering her new track on Valentines Day as a love letter to the lonely and jaded. Armed with sweet-but-salty vocals and an analogue synth, she explores the cynicism that comes after one too many heartbreaks: “When will things just get back to normal / I think to myself / and scoff as the thought runs through my mind.” The track was recorded at the Dave Matthews’ Bands’ Haunted Hollow studio and features Dane Alderson (Yellowjackets), Joe Lawlor (Egypt, DMB), Tevis Marshall, and Nate Brown (Everything). Retelling a universal story with the heartbeat of an electronic drum, “Hard to Love” encourages us to let go and get vulnerable… a reminder that is always right on time.

“Kristen Rae Bowden has the richness of style to carry a meaningful song like this. She has an inherent feel for the profound in all three: her lyrics, and the nuance of her vocals and playing.” - Melissa Clarke
