Roxy Rawson offers a mythic reawakening on new single 'I found a place in the woods'

Roxy Rawson has always been one conjuring small, shimmering worlds. And with 'I found a place in the woods', she invites us into one of her most spellbinding creations yet: a woodland sanctuary where grief dissolves into renewal, and the ghosts of the past finally loosen their grip.

The track arrives as the first glimpse of her upcoming full-length 'Bright Star', and it couldn’t be a more fitting reintroduction to an artist whose work feels carved from starlight and soil. Produced by avant-orchestrator Jherek Bischoff, the piece floats between chamber folk and dreamlike art-pop, radiating the quiet intensity that has always set her apart.

Her elastic and delicately strange voice dances across the melody with an almost feral grace. There’s a trembling courage in her delivery, the kind that comes only from lived transformation. Underneath, Bischoff’s arrangements breathe like shifting fog, with strings whispering, piano glimmering, and textures rustling as though something unseen has just stepped between the branches.

Lyrically, the song plunges straight into emotional marrow. Rawson traces the hard edges of heartbreak, the disorientation of rebuilding, and the strange peace found in solitude. Yet there’s no self-pity here, almost a defiant act of reclaiming one’s inner wilderness. This is a song about returning to yourself, not running from what hurt you.

That this comes after eight years of illness and enforced stillness makes the track’s quiet power even more astonishing. Rawson emerges an artist reborn; bolder, freer, and more connected to her own mythology than ever.

'I found a place in the woods' is a threshold into the next chapter of a musician who has always belonged somewhere just beyond the edges of the ordinary. If this is the doorway into 'Bright Star', then Roxy Rawson’s second act is poised to be nothing short of luminous.
