Pretty When U Cry

Behind The Lyrics (Episode 1): "Pretty When U Cry" with Rachel Bochner

Welcome back to Behind the Lyrics, where I ask artists to break down their songwriting process, and share their inspirations behind the song. 

Today I interviewed Gaby Palavincinni, a 20 year old independent musician from Los Angeles. Gaby shared that writing this song helped aid some doubts she had about pursuing music as a career. She was better able to understand how much time it takes to climb the ladder that is the music industry. Everything needs time and redefining what success meant to her was a big moment in her life.

This episode features Jessica Mazin, a 17 year old singer-songwriter from Los Angeles. She resides in a genre familiar to many across the world called “sad girl pop.” Her music is catered towards people who are “sad” and “might need some music to not feel alone.”

I invited 31 year old singer/songwriter Lauren Luiz to give intel into her song “concussion.”  She started writing for her project girlhouse 2 years ago and has developed quite a following. With an eccentric music video to pair with this groovy song she has accumulated over 3 million streams on Spotify.

For today’s episode I invited 24 year old singer/songwriter Amber Wilson to help us dive into her song Don’t Forget I’m Human.  After receiving heart warming messages from several fans, she wanted to write a song that reminded her audience that she’s still a person. Wilson expresses that “regardless of what her platform looks like she’s still the same Amber who geeks out over Harry Styles just like everybody else does.”
