Faith Alexis releases new single ‘Dig My Heels In’

Faith Alexis, a Nashville-based soft rock singer songwriter, released her single ‘Dig My Heels In’ on September 13th to the anticipation of her growing fanbase.

Dig My Heels In is a song of stubbornness and heartache, expressing the stressful feeling of being stuck with no motivation and no way out. Through this single, powerhouse Faith Alexis brings hope to listeners who are in similar situations, that one day they will find the strength to get back up again, and the world will seem beautiful. Filled with rock and roll angst, the release is a long-awaited resurrection the sound of 70s records.

A killer bass riff backed by a steady drumbeat and an acoustic guitar lend the song that satisfying soft rock sound that we all crave. However, it is the added electric guitar which brings the single to life. With Faith’s gritty vocals reminiscent of Stevie Nicks and her poetic lyricism calling back to Joni Mitchell, Dig My Heels In is perfect for old souls who yearn for new material.  

Standout lyrics, ‘in a tandem line with myself and my mind / seems like one or the other’s always falling behind’, convey when you know what the right thing to do is, yet you can’t help but do the complete opposite. Maybe you’re self-destructive or maybe you just confuse your head and your heart. Either way Faith provides lyrics which resonate with all listeners, something not all artists can achieve. 

The single bursts fully open in the outro, which is a manifestation of change, a change she so desperately wants to make but is struggling to do so. Faith belts, ‘I confuse peace with negligence of better things. Is that gonna do it for me?’ This profound lyricism presents how sometimes the easiest thing to do is live in blissful ignorance. However, time doesn’t stand still and the rest of the world will overtake you, so sometimes you need to make a change and start living the life you dreamt of for yourself. 

So, get your vintage fur coats and big sunglasses on to listen to Dig My Heels In as the leaves begin to fall.
