New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Who here hasn't had days when they felt like they were running on empty? Like everything in their lives was just crashing down around them, and all they could do was hold on for dear life? In many ways, that's what Canadian artist Latoya Jane so aptly puts into words with her brand new hit single, entitled simply "
Empty". The title is, in our view, highly versatile, referencing so many different emotions that are going through the artist's soul right at that second, and why not, the listener's, as well.
"
Empty" is not just a pretty song. It's a tune about finding yourself, and finding the strength to be resilient, and to hold on to something greater than yourself. It's one of those songs that although desperate are also empowering and full of hope. And it obviously comes from a place of self-reflection and no doubt suffering. The artist herself, hailing from the difficult neighborhood of Jane&Finch in Toronto, had a less than pleasant childhood. Yet through it all, her dream of becoming an artist, and her natural passion for music somehow managed to sustain her, and guide her towards the path she's walking now.
Latoya Jane is both a musician and a powerful inspiration to all her listeners, and honestly, "
Empty" is just the song we need right about now. Because we've all had a rough year, what with the whole pandemic thing. And we all need a little comfort, or someone reaching out to us, telling us it's okay, that they get what we're going through. That's what Latoya Jane does with "
Empty". She reaches out a helping hand, which is what makes this wonderfully catchy, esoteric song so popular. It's the type of song that's so well-written and melodic that it'll appeal to listeners around the world, both young and old.
