Country songstress, Bekka Dowland released her new song today and we are here for it! “Hole In My Heart” is the third single by the singer-songwriter and features a classic country-pop sound perfect for singing along to in the honky-tonks of Nashville.
The 24-year-old calls Western Massachusetts home, but this northern girl is all country at heart! Encouraged by her late father musically, Dowland was motivated to pursue a music career in his memory.
At 21, she picked up a guitar and her path became clear. Dowland’s first single, “On The Radio”, was dropped last year and she followed it up with the ballad “View From Heaven”.
“Hole In My Heart” marks Dowland’s first release in 2021. The music video is now available on YouTube as well.
Heavily influenced by Taylor Swift, Bekka Dowland’s music is similarly inspired by her own love life. “Hole In My Heart” is about being taken advantage of and mistreated in a relationship.
“The inspiration behind this song comes from a bad break up with a toxic ex,” Bekka Dowland says. “What I love about this song is how the words are so relatable to kicking an ex to the curb.”
“Hole In My Heart” was written by Bekka Dowland along with producing team Eric Johnson and Danny Jay from NI Music Group, who have been working with her on an upcoming EP.
“Hole In My Heart” is available to buy and stream wherever you listen to music.
