Bad Bad Hats – “Write It On Your Heart”
We last heard from Minneapolis trio Bad Bad Hats in 2015 with the release of their lovely debut album Psychic Reader. “Write It On Your Heart,” the lead single off their forthcoming album Lightning Round, is just as full of the emotional depths that surround love.
Frontwoman and lyricist Kerry Alexander’s voice is pure and honest as she sings about a love that has grown teeth. It’s a gentle but rebellious song exploring the pain that follows the end of a relationship where the ender wants to leave with your blessing. But Alexander comes out with strength.
She spoke of the track’s reflective and healing nature in a press release, saying, “I haven’t always stood up for myself in situations like this. So this song is an ode to the version of me that does.” Listen and check out Bad Bad Hats’ summer tour dates below.
