When heartache and artistry collide, there’s usually something unforgettable that comes from it, and Nina Bloom’s new track “Juliet” is just that. Now available on Spotify, “Juliet” is an emotional reclamation of the ruin and betrayal left behind, transforming the pain into poetry with disturbing grace.
Conceived in a lovesick misery, the cycle of drinking to forget not to be confused with self-medication leads to a fiery relationship, which leads to curing the hangover with more alcohol. This series of well-written songs captures all the highs and lows of an affair gone astray. That unmediated emotion seeps into every note, transforming “Juliet” into a confession at once intimate and universal.
Inspired by The Cranberries and Guns N’ Roses’ “November Rain,” the song melds ethereal longing with striking rock-and-roll majesty. Bloom’s voice quavers with openness but soars defiantly, a duality that encapsulates the heartbreak-to-healing arc. It’s a widescreen production that nods to the ‘90s alternative vibe and leavens it with soul that feels very personal and is very much of the moment.
“Juliet” is more than a breakup song, it amounts to an emotional reckoning, a portrait of standing in the rubble and discovering there can be beauty in betrayal. It’s the sort of song that lingers long after it’s over, leaving listeners feeling seen, bruised, and somehow hopeful.
