Tabitha Booth makes a defiant return to the limelight with the release of her evocative new EP ‘Highway to The Heart’. Bringing a contemporary alt-rock punch to the soundwaves, the offering is the artist's first release since her sophomore album.
Shining a light on her intrinsic songwriting, the EP offers a raw vulnerability and defiant authenticity as crashing guitars wail alongside pummeling drums. A heavy dosage of blues keeps the EP afloat, channelling the full spectrum of human emotion inside Booth’s insightful poetries.
Explaining the themes tied into the EP, Booth jumps in, “The title track, “Highway to the Heart” is a song about oppression and escape through the feminine lens. I wrote the lyrics in honour of my mother who taught me that having a big heart and willingness to give, that having empathy and emotional depth, does not, in fact, mean that the world will reciprocate any of it; they will not have etiquette, respect or gratitude; and might bleed you dry while they remain unconscious at the wheel. Confronted with this, most people will subconsciously look for an escape route… or create an identity to escape into where self-acceptance can be found. Isn’t that, in some ways, what all this AI and digital technology - innovation - serves?”
