Pidgie "Just Breathe"

It is in our modern political climate that many people seeking justice, seem to be saying "please empathize with me for a moment." Indeed, I think a lack of empathy and self-reflection are the root cause to most of our problems as a society. Which is why I was happy to come across the new track from the artist Pidgie titled "Just Breathe." Pidgie is speaking (or rather, singing) softly but with a volume that demands attention, on issues facing people who don't always receive said, necessary, attention. 

The song is, in many ways, vignettes about individuals with various struggles - individuals who have to remind themselves to "Just Breathe." Instrumentally, you could think of it as an Indie-Rock ballad with some Country components. The innocent and straight-voiced quality of the vocals sound youthful in a way that comes across as wonderfully individual. I'm pleased to think that her work might cause some introspection in the people who listen to it.
