Molly Trueman, a Montreal-based singer-songwriter, is set to take the music world by storm with her debut album, ‘Angels & Aliens’ dropping today, October 4th, 2024. Known for her unique blend of folk vulnerability and alt-rock angst, Trueman has crafted an album that feels both deeply personal and refreshingly contemporary.
One of the standout tracks, “I Won’t Sleep Soundly,” was written during a particularly intense moment in 2020, reflecting on social injustice and the quest for hope amid chaos. The emotional weight of “I Won’t Sleep Soundly” hits hard, especially considering it was inspired by the aftermath of George Floyd’s tragic death.
Trueman’s songwriting becomes a vessel for processing grief and frustration, capturing a desire for change. Its haunting melody, backed by acoustic guitar and gentle synths, creates an atmosphere that resonates with anyone feeling the weight of the world on their shoulders. Throughout ‘Angels & Aliens,’ Trueman draws inspiration from artists like Madison Cunningham and Phoebe Bridgers, seamlessly weaving together confessional lyrics and raw transparency.
Her DIY recording process in her bedroom lends an authentic touch, allowing each song to evolve organically. The album promises to be a refreshing escape from our overstimulated lives, guiding listeners on a captivating journey with each track. So give it a listen—Molly Trueman is ready to share her heart, and you won’t want to miss it!
