Searching for authenticity, Sophia Kaloustian seeks to move on from a past relationship, reconnecting with her inner self and taking a step towards growth and resilience. Sounds familiar? We bet it does; steeped in relatable experiences and inspiring imagery, ‘Used To Breathe’ takes that very same concept, then translates it into musical terms. Kaloustian’s latest effort, the song does a good job of providing wholesome and vibrant indie-pop energy with a hint of nostalgia.
Faced with the romantic loss of a loved one, the Los Angeles-based songstress uses it as a cathartic force, a catalyst for unfiltered, pure musical expression. The result is rather heartwarming, slick and catchy, with ‘Used To Breathe’ finding home among sharp guitar riffs and indie-flavoured drums.
Honestly, it’s a really good record; part mainstream pop, part indie, ‘Used To Breathe’ is the perfect match for our turbulent self-serving dating scene. Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Sophia explains: “‘Used To Breathe’ is a story about finding yourself after years of devoting your time and energy to someone else.”
