After releasing my debut EP 'everything is light work' in May, I am coming out with my first single since. This one is called "Days Like Today." I wrote it on New Year's Day as an antidote to the shame-fueled cultural expectation that we must completely reinvent ourselves, change our lives, and become a whole different person every January first. Writing this song was my practice in resisting the urge to believe that I am not good enough as I am. In collaboration with multi-instrumentalist and producer James Villa, 'Days Like Today' became the beautiful dreamy folky pop anthem that it is!

Days Like Today

Listen to an unreleased track from Blair Borax's debut full length album "Keep Walking" set to be released this Spring.

Never Mine, Never Mind

This song is about surviving grey rainy Portland winters and seasonal depression and finding hope and sunshine on the other side.

Like The Weather

Fish Out Of Water

This song is the third single off my upcoming album "Tender Lately." I wrote it for the moments when you don't feel like getting back on the horse; when you don't want to (re)download Hinge or Tinder or Grindr; when you can't bring yourself to go out to try to meet someone IRL.

Call Me Lazy

I wrote this song about my yoga practice, about how the silence and spaciousness of a big empty room gave me opportunity to ask big questions, explore who I am, and wonder where I am going. It is in an empty room that I began to discover my own wounds and joys, pain and potential. It is in an empty room that I began to ponder how I want to show up in the world. It is my hope that this song can accompany listeners on a transformative journey to "find the whole world in empty room" and to find the wholeness inside of themselves.
