The local musician, singer-songwriter, vocal coach and music production student — known for her solo indie-rock project and as one of two lead vocalists in The So Help Me’s, the five-piece stargazing math-rock band — makes her disdain perfectly clear on her new single “Insecurities.”
Songwriting is Massad's therapy and a lot of time the results are only meant for her. However, this particular track — appropriately titled ``Insecurities`` — wouldn't go away.
With brilliant blue-green hair and eyes that look deeply at the world when she speaks, her personality shines through, even as she sits quietly sipping coffee.
Both new songs, Insecurities and Alone at Night, deal with facing harsh realities in oneself and in other people, and both songs tap into raw, unadulterated emotion.
A lot of my music is really hard for me to release because it is so personal and makes me vulnerable. But I like it is important for artists to share their dark side and show their struggles along with their triumph.
Massad, transfixed on her muse, sat down at the piano and created “Come Back Home,” a story about finding the love of her life, and then losing him to the chaos and confusion of this world.
Insecurities released in early May, having been met with such a warm reception, getting articles in multiples magazines, newspapers, blogs, and radio play, Massad’s fan base began to thrive.
