New Music
Raised in the small town of Hopeville, Ontario, Rachael Bawn knew she was destined to be a singer before she even can remember. Discovering her voice as a songwriter and developing a core message to help other young women took a bit of time as she weathered life lessons. And now, a few years after the release of Bawn’s debut album, signing a recording and publishing deal in America with BMG New York, and later parting ways with the record label, her innate talent and positive persona are aligned with a melodic missive primed for the masses.
Teaming up with songwriter Rosanne Baker Thornley, and producer Ben Pelchat, Bawn has co-written powerful new songs with an overarching theme of truth-telling. They confront the toxic side of social media (“Snapshot”), inspire courage for the inevitable hard things in life, and encourage listeners to slow down and not allow the busyness of life to overwhelm.
“Snapshot” in particular is about the social media paradox and its negative effects. “We use it to feel connected but we end up doom scrolling, comparing ourselves to others, and end up feeling more lonely and bad about ourselves,” says Bawn.
