Christina Martin<\/a> <\/strong>has released \u201cStorm,\u201d the first single off her forthcoming new album of the same name, which will be released September 1st. She has also released a music video for the song directed by Matt Charlton<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStorm\u201d is not a pandemic anthem, in fact the origins of the song date all the way back to Hurricane Juan\u2019s devastating arrival in Nova Scotia in 2003. However, hurricane imagery seems especially apt for all of us here in the summer of 2023, as we are both personally and collectively still trying to pick up the pieces of lives that look like a wild storm blew through them. In \u201cStorm\u201d Martin finds herself looking back at a past trauma or upheaval and thanking it for becoming a learning experience that she now has the hindsight to appreciate. \u201cIt muddied up and screwed, I sifted through debris, and now appreciate the view,\u201d<\/em> she sings: a line that feels like it has universal reverberations in this moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStorm\u201d speaks generally to any sort of difficult change we experience in life, whether a breakup or a professional setback, or any challenge that knocks us off our feet. Indeed, it may be too soon for us to look back on the Covid Years with any gratitude for what they have taught us, especially as many of us are still hustling to survive its multifaceted prongs of misery, but I still find the song a beautiful reminder of the sweetness of hindsight, and Martin\u2019s optimism here is refreshing in a world that still feels so incessantly stormy (both literally and figuratively). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
