Abigail Barlow, the Grammy-award-winning artist, is making a triumphant return with her latest single, “Rock Bottom”. This track serves as the leadoff to her highly anticipated debut solo album, “Princess Pop”. scheduled for release in early 2024. It acts as the follow-up to her 2022 collaboration with Ariza, titled “Silence”.
“Rock Bottom”, co-written by Abigail Barlow in collaboration with Kings and Gus Ross, the latter of whom also produced the track, encapsulates the highs and lows of the past year. It stands as a testament to an artist who has grown, evolved, and rediscovered her voice, confirming that her message continues to resonate deeply as she ventures into the future.
Following a legal battle related to her Grammy-winning work on “The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical” as one half of Barlow & Bear, “Rock Bottom” reflects on the experiences she’s encountered in the past year, forging a path forward, upward, and onward for Abigail as a solo artist.
Speaking about her latest single, Abigail Barlow states: “‘Rock Bottom’ is a reflection of my inner artist. Through this single, I embark on an artistic journey to share my story of self-discovery and resilience. It marks my return to creating music that I am genuinely proud of. After a GRAMMY win, a lawsuit, and more than a year of silence, I’ve found my voice and honed my unique sound while working on my debut album, ‘Princess Pop’, which is set to drop in 2024. It all begins with this song.”
The song is an addicting mainstream pop track that we can’t get enough of. Abigail impresses with her high-octane voice that releases perfect vocal runs and reaches a falsetto like no other. Add that to her incredibly crafted lyrics that not only send chills to the listener but also hit us right in the heart as she describes exactly what it’s like to have a case of being at rock bottom – but rather than live in a depressing state, Abigail sends out positivity in all its forms. Her ability to unleash good vibes only (something we honour here at Good Star Vibes) is not just inspiring but also influential.
Pouring her heart out in the song, “Rock Bottom” really does tell her side of the story through emotional integrity. She manages to relate to her listeners by allowing them to realise that they’re not alone at rock bottom, that she’s been there too, but she refuses to stay down. Her proof in this is the release of this awesomely addictive song which is only the first of many new tracks on its way from her as she prepares for the release of her debut album – which we totally cannot wait for.
