Singer-songwriter Kyra Gordon has just released “Burn It Down,” an Americana and alternative country single. Her powerful lyrics and invigorating voice, a mix of rock and folk, tell a story of a woman walking away from a painful and unhealthy romantic relationship. She took her inspiration from the divorces of many of her female friends, hoping to create a track that would leave them feeling like they could take back their own narrative.
When she sings, “Burn it down, burn it down, in my own wedding gown,” the listener can hear her emotion. She asserts her strength in the power behind her voice, deriving a sense of strength from the stories of those around her, and their own transformations.
“This anthem is for women who’ve decided they deserve more, even if it means giving it to themselves,” shares her producer Rachel Efron. “I hope after they listen to this song, they feel their power.”
Gordon is set to expand upon this new sound, a move away from her jazz roots, with the June 2024 EP ‘Traveler.’
