Erin Bloomer, the 22-year-old singer-songwriter known for her uplifting tunes and viral TikTok hits, takes a bold step into vulnerability with her latest release, 'This One's Gonna Hurt'.
Bloomer, whose voice has graced the SAD remix and BBC Radio 1's Power Intros, has always had a knack for crafting songs that resonate with her friends and followers. However, 'This One's Gonna Hurt' marks a departure from her usual approach, as she delves into her personal experiences with love and heartbreak.
"Normally, I write songs about my friends’ situations or my followers’ stories, but 'This One's Gonna Hurt' is a bit different – it’s me writing about myself for a change!" Bloomer reveals.
The song, written during lockdown over Zoom, captures the raw emotions of being deeply in love with someone and the fear of losing that connection. Bloomer's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love so profound that its potential end feels almost unbearable.
'This One's Gonna Hurt' showcases Bloomer's growth as an artist, both lyrically and sonically. The track features a delicate blend of acoustic guitar and piano, creating a melancholic backdrop for Bloomer's emotive vocals. Her voice, at once powerful and vulnerable, conveys the depth of her feelings with heart-wrenching sincerity.
The song's chorus, with its haunting repetition of the title phrase, is both catchy and poignant. It serves as a reminder that love, while beautiful, can also be a source of profound pain. Bloomer's willingness to embrace this duality adds a layer of authenticity to her music that is sure to resonate with listeners.
Despite her initial nervousness about sharing such a personal song, Bloomer is ultimately excited for the world to hear it. "This is my most personal project yet," she says. "I think it will hit home for many, cos we’ve pretty much all been there, we love and sometimes we lose."
'This One's Gonna Hurt' is a testament to Bloomer's talent for capturing the complexities of human emotion. It's a song that will stay with you long after the final note fades, a reminder that even the most beautiful love stories can have bittersweet endings.
