Charlotte Sabina finds beauty in the bruise on new single 'Harder To Heal'

Charlotte Sabina's new single 'Harder To Heal' is a bruised, unflinching entry into her catalogue, drenched in the grit of ‘90s alt-rock while carrying an urgency that feels rooted in the now. Born in New York and sharpened by the South Bay’s raw edges, Sabina is quickly proving herself as one of the most fearless voices in today's underground.

The track builds from a tense, skeletal guitar line that smoulders before bursting open. Sabina’s vocals cut through the haze like an open wound, trembling between defiance and despair.

What makes 'Harder To Heal' hit so effectively is its push-and-pull between fragility and fire. One moment, she leans into a soft, spectral register that recalls Liz Phair or Mazzy Star; the next, her voice rises into a full-throated howl that channels the angst of Hole or early Paramore. The chorus becomes its own spell, “It’s harder to heal, it’s harder to feel when I’m not with you”, a mantra that lingers, cycling in the head like the very thoughts it’s meant to exorcise.

There’s no gloss here, no overproduction to dull the edges. You can feel the room, the urgency, and the cracks that make the recording breathe. In an era where heartbreak is often packaged into neat, TikTok-friendly hooks, she refuses to sand down the rawness.

With her debut album 'Herobrine' already making waves, this single cements Charlotte Sabina’s place as an artist who thrives in volatility. She doesn’t romanticise pain, but she doesn’t look away from it either. Instead, she drags it into the light and lets it scream.
