Donna Missal Releases New Single

This time, Donna Missal is free from the heartbreak.

Her new single, “You Burned Me” proves that there is more on the other side after a break-up, and that’s making something out of the pain. In an Instagram post, Missal opens up about the inspiration behind the candid tune. “the song is about getting your heart broken but even more about what you can make of that. rising from the ashes of shit burning down around you. it’s meant to feel like freedom,” said the alternative R&B artist.

You Burned Me is out! this is the cover image. was asked where the inspiration came from; “i’ve been listening to a lot of early ‪Sheryl Crow‬ records, ‪Shania Twain‬, ‪Liz Phair‬ in her pop phase, I wanted to emulate that era with the sound of this recording. the song started as just an acoustic and a vocal so we built it from there, my producer on the song, Tommy English, had sent me an idea for horns in the post chorus and I thought it made it sound instantly joyful. i really wanted that to come across – the song is about getting your heart broken but even more about what you can make of that. rising from the ashes of shit burning down around you. it’s meant to feel like freedom.” this is the most vulnerable lyric i think i’ve ever put out there, and i’m trying this new thing where i don’t apply any concern with what’s popularized in music now to make decisions about my own. been trying to come to terms with big life shifts lately, saying goodbye to things i thought would always be there, and losing more often than i’d like to admit to some really dark thoughts and feelings towards myself. i’ve been crawling out the other side of that, cautiously, slowly, and realizing the reality i thought i knew was burning down around me while i was hiding from my world. decidedly, i’m not going to burn down with it. this is the first step into a new world of music from me, another album to embody this concept. please accept You Burned Me as a restart to a new life that’s just getting started now.

Donna Missal – You Burned Me (Lyric Video)

Missal is over the idea of over-thinking. “i’m trying this new thing where i don’t apply any concern with what’s popularized in music now to make decisions about my own.” “You Burned Me” is a sound that didn’t come naturally for the singer-songwriter. The artist admits that her latest single is the “most vulnerable lyric [she thinks she’s&#93 ever put out there.”

The New Jersey native is done burying these feelings away, and is ready to take on the next chapter of music with a new mindset. Donna Missal is currently sharing this side of herself with new, and current fans, on a nearly sold-out international tour with singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi.
