Half Wolf - Cigarette Smoke

Originally from North Dakota but now based in Los Angeles, emerging singer/songwriter Hannah Westerholm, aka Half Wolf, returns today with yet another stellar offering called "Cigarette Smoke", the follow-up to her debut single "Pretty Lonely", released back in early August. Born from an abusive relationship, the empowering new release uses cigarette addiction as a metaphor for the turbulent experience. Finding sanctuary within her songwriting, Westerholm hopes to touch others who've been in her shoes.

Speaking on the track, Half Wolf explains:

"It all came from personal experience of an abusive partner rolling the car windows up while smoking his cigarettes. Not only a literal account, but metaphorical. This is a story using cigarette addiction as a metaphor for the waves of confusion and power struggle that comes with loving your abuser. My hope is that survivors can find comfort and empowerment in hearing a multidimensional point of view on an abusive relationship."

Vowing to only release on new moon cycles, Half Wolf will be continue to share a number of new tracks throughout the year so be sure to add her to your ones to watch list.
