Kristiane's "Better on Your Own" Is Heartfelt Songwriting at Its Best

With a candid approach to songwriting and a delicate delivery that perfectly matches her close-to-the-heart reflections, Kristiane is poised to become your next best-kept secret. The Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter crafts indelible, soft-spoken pop that plays out with an unrelenting sincerity. The effect is akin to stumbling on a stranger's diary, randomly opening from page to page, piecing together glimpses of a life outside your own.

Released via FADER Label, Kristiane's latest single "Better on Your Own" follows her debut, "Wish I Could Be Your Girl," released earlier this year. Opening on the heavenly meld of a lone guitar and minimalistic production, "Better on Your Own" is one of those unassuming tracks that stops you dead in your tracks - the rare sort of musical discovery that feels almost too perfect.

At its core, "Better on Your Own" is a deeply personal moment of self-doubt punctuated by heartfelt, timeless songwriting. "I think about it all the time, every second I'm alive / That I'd leave if you wanted to, you want that too / Do you want that, do you," confesses Kristiane. Detailing everything from intrusive thoughts to pervasive feelings of uncertainty, Kristiane pens a story that is so much larger than the growing insecurity in a single relationship.

"Better on Your Own" is an individual heart-to-heart that takes on an air of the universal. It's the magnificent sort of record you could turn to to find solace at any point in your life.
