In February, Alchemical reported on the release of New Zealand-born singer-songwriter living in the U.S., Estella Dawn, and her first single of 2022, “Salt.” Now she releases her third single of the year, “Easy to Fall,” preceded by another wildly popular single, “Buzzcut,” released in March.
“Easy to Fall” is a song that posits that uncontrollable anger and unbearable sorrow are not the only ways for a relationship to come to an end, but sometimes just deteriorates until it eventually concludes; without much in the way of theatrics or resulting drama.
“I’ve always found it interesting how you can go from loving someone with every fiber of your being, to just well…. Not” says Dawn. “You can’t pinpoint what’s different, nothing has really changed, but you find yourself becoming more and more distant until eventually you’re both lying in the same bed, but it feels like you’re oceans apart.”
With a commercial, Indie Pop sound, and Estella Dawn’s impressive vocal range and emotive performance, “Easy to Fall” is an upbeat song offering a moment of reflection for those recognizing these fizzled relationships in their own lives without embracing judgment, criticism, or blame. Compared to Pink, Billie Eilish, Halsey, Sia, PVRIS, and for fans of Taylor Swift, Maren Morris, Julia Michaels, Phoebe Bridgers, Estella Dawn has released 16 singles to date, each mirroring a musical and lyrical exploration of her own creativity and simultaneously recognizing her influences.
