We had the pleasure of interviewing Rachel Baiman over Zoom video!
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month this May, indie-folk artist\xa0Rachel Baiman\xa0spoke with\xa0Good Morning America\xa0about why she turns to music and art when her mental health is suffering and the five songs that make her feel better, here: instagram.com/p/CPIe_Y5LlaC
On her forthcoming \u2018Cycles\u2019 album (6.11 via Signature Sounds), Baiman dissects and empathizes with the mental cycles of individuals and today (5.24), she illuminates what that looks like for her own self-worth with a performance of \u201cHope It Hurts.\u201d Watch here:\xa0youtu.be/NgVUIrzzYbU
Filmed at Maison des Merveilles in Nashville, TN by Kaitlyn Raitz (Sarah Jarosz, Jillette Johnson), the \u201cHope It Hurts\u201d is an expression of anger and rejection, fueled by a personal experience that many musicians face in the entertainment industry \u2014 being told their no longer a good investment. She explores how damaging this experience is for self-worth, esteem and overall mental health.
"I wrote this song after being dropped by my first booking agent of over 5 years, out of virtually nowhere, with an extremely impersonal email,\u201d says Baiman. "Being told I was no longer a good investment was both a personal and artistic blow and also a realization of the viciousness of the music industry. I really believed that I was on the verge of reaching a new level of success, and when your team gives up on you, that can go away in an instant. That kind of raw rejection fuels a lot of existential questions about worthiness and self esteem.\u201d
Fans can expect a plethora of these raw, emotional acoustic performances from Baiman on tour this summer.
On Saturday, June 12, she\u2019ll celebrate the \u2018Cycles\u2019 album release in Nashville, TN at City Winery.
