Denver-based singer-songwriter Holly Lovell creates music infused with emotional depth and honesty. Her work seamlessly blends the sounds of acoustic and electric guitars, while her alternative folk style is marked by powerful melodies and heartfelt expressiveness. New track, “Hello Chelsea,” is a vivid example of this approach.
Describing her inspiration, Holly shares:
“My relationship with New York City is complicated — it’s both love and hate. The city’s energy makes you believe anything is possible, and its vastness gives you a sense of strength through anonymity. But that thin veil of illusion tears easily if you stay there long enough, and then you realize: New York is a living, breathing entity that can completely consume you. This song is a letter to Chelsea and the larger, untamable beast that is New York City.”
