On her new song “Radio Silence,” available now everywhere , Hemby showcases her acute metaphorical lyricism as she details the deafening sting of a fading friendship.
Co-written by Hemby with Rosi Golan (Dear John, Vampire Diaries, Grey’s Anatomy) and grammy-winning songwriter Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves’ ‘Golden Hour’), “Radio Silence” is a slow-burning ballad from Hemby’s ‘Pins and Needles’ album out October 8th via Fantasy Records.
“This song is basically about being ghosted by a friend, only not because of a fallout, but because your friend doesn’t want to drag you into their struggles, so they shut down,” says Hemby. “I was the friend, and Rosi Golan was the one reaching out. She and I wrote this song with our friend Daniel Tashian.”
