Nashville singer-songwriter Daisy Briggs makes a triumphant return with her new single, "Cold Shoulder," a song about battling memories and self-worth. Produced in collaboration with Jordan Davis, it's a stirring tale of emotional tenacity set to an unassuming pop brilliance. "Cold Shoulder" explores the temptation to pursue a relationship one knows is doomed.
Briggs taps into the openness of that feeling, then marries it with a sense of worth and strength. It's a messy emotional terrain, and the tug of what was against the clarity of what must be, and her delivery makes that conflict feel achingly honest in its complexities. Briggs' voice sails over Davis' production with grace, simultaneously tender and defiant. Briggs has referred to "Cold Shoulder" as her personal favorite release to date, and it's not hard to see why. As another solo-written work, the song feels intimate, like a diary set to melody.
Beyond her own narrative, Briggs casts the track as an anthem for women everywhere, a call to turn the trope of validation on its head and seize power unapologetically. This release extends her head-scratching investigation of self-reflection and relationships, giving resonance to her artistry. With every new single, Briggs proves that she is capable of making pop music that is empowering. "Cold Shoulder" is about walking away from the past with dignity and confidence. Daisy Briggs has released an as resonant as it is reflective track.
