Mathilda Homer’s ‘Pretty In Blue’ Is A Note Of Empathy

Mathilda Homer has shared her new single ‘Pretty In Blue’.

The songwriter first caught our ear during the pandemic, sharing a pair of riveting EPs. Since then, Mathilda Homer has embarked on a new challenge – becoming a mother, she now lives on a farm with partner and collaborator Isaac Waddington.

Marking her return, new single ‘Pretty In Blue’ is the work of a mature talent, but no less precocious.

Easy-on-the-ear – she always was a master with melody – the track’s honeyed tones mask an expiration of feminine self-worth in a patriarchal society.

Penned for a friend, ‘Pretty In Blue’ becomes something much more universal.

“I wrote ‘Pretty In Blue’ after seeing my best friend in quite a dark place, feeling like her worth was tied up in her unbelievably beautiful looks,” Homer says. “In a world of diet culture and women constantly being measured against beauty standards, I wanted to remind her she’s everything else too, hilarious, kind, thoughtful, and brilliant beyond that. She’s a rockstar, and I needed her to know.”

Tune in now.
