Austin-based singer Sierra Velez releases her second single of the year, “Growing Pains.” Following in the footsteps of the March single, “Lovin’ On Me,” the new single captures the essence of what it really means to make music for the good of the soul. Velez doesn’t just elevate the genre of soul; she seeks to be at the forefront of the next wave of soul and R&B storytellers.
With “Growing Pains,” Velez weaves a story of discomfort and learning to embrace the pain of elevating oneself. In the framework of the single, it works in a way that is poetic and filled with uncertainty. She doesn’t shy away from the displeasure; instead pushes forth with raw songwriting abilities.
For Sierra Velez, as a newcomer in music, the raw emotion and physical vocals really play off her lyrics and production. “Growing Pains” is a look into Velez’s upcoming EP, Becoming. The EP offers a glimpse into the value Velez puts into her work and themes that play on the deepest parts of the human psyche.
