Blossom Aloe’s new single, “Honey,” released on August 8, 2025, is a striking return after a two-year silence, landing weighty with emotion. From the jump, the track opens with thumping beats and those chiming, melodic guitars that seem to shimmer and pull you in, before Mia Jane Coyle’s tender, aching vocals float over the top. Beautifully undressed, it sounds as if it was written straight from a wound still healing.

The beauty of “Honey” is in its push-and-pull dynamic. The instruments by Josh Vargas, Henry Huelskamp, and Aaron Ruiz breathe and wrestle with the lyrics, as they mirror the tug-of-war of love, addiction, and the hope for something better. The guitars dance and spar with each other, while melodic lines weave like two hearts trying to meet in the middle. Add in the bass that rumbles right to the chest, and you’ve got a delicate and urgent track.

And then there’s Mia’s soaring, emotional voice, tinged with that late ‘90s/early 2000s vibe reminiscent of The Cranberries or The Sundays. She pours everything out in the thick of her soft voice, each note catching that bittersweet space between strength and fragility, with delicacy. It’s the perfect vehicle for those thawing lyrics about loss, longing, and the stubborn fight to choose a better life, even when it feels impossibly out of reach.

Recorded in a Houston bedroom-turned-studio, the track gets intimate in its smooth edges, giving a subtle push towards evolution since Summer Days Heavy Rain. “Honey” resonates because it’s messy, honest, and deeply human. Blossom Aloe has dug deeper this time, with this single sticking to the soul like, well, honey.
