'Honey' tells me some things that I never knew, that I wish I never forget. Equal parts heartbreaking and inspiring, SAUNDIA's latest release is perhaps one of the most beautiful and powerful songs written about addiction and healing in recent times.
The track begins in a gloomy place known as rock bottom before the hook pulls us out of the mire of desperation and hopelessness into a new horizon of possibilities and -most importantly- Freedom. This is SAUNDIA's most vulnerable and spiritual track to date, and also something she can always look back in with a lot of pride for how meaningful and beautiful it all ended up being.
Her own musical background has been heavily shaped by using her voice from a young age as the fullest and most authentic form of expression. This can be heard in her music through her strong and layered use of vocals to not only create space and texture but to also communicate emotion and story. SAUNDIA’s mission is to use music and her voice as a tool to awaken and empower the world.
Today, her music has been described as “soulful”, “spiritual”, “new-earth”, and “empowering”, The L.A.-based Self-produced artist has been writing and producing tracks for many years now, however, it was only in the summer of 2022 that she decided to release her first personal work out into the world after going through a tumultuous but ultimately valuable process of growth and transformation.
While SAUNDIA's personal tale is that of struggling and recovering from addiction, the song itself is applicable to just about any struggle you carry out from within for the sake of your own well-being. In some parts, it's easy to describe the temptation and pull of addiction to be as "sweet" as honey, however, the glorious golden-hued liquid is more accurately used as an "Empowering force" allowing you to gain the strength to pull yourself through and out of the hole.
Whether you praise a higher power or you understand yourself as an individual full of agency and self-control, 'Honey' is all about finding your center, your strength, and the keys to the cage you've built around your life.
