25-year-old Italian singer and songwriter Sara Ammendolia a.k.a. Her Skin has released her debut album βI Started A Gardenβ after sowing her passion for music from a very young age into several singles.
The first song βBonesβ is about longing to be welcomed by a new person. The next song βConfidentβ tells you that itβs okay to feel awful, spend time doing nothing and do whatever. Itβs a self-acceptance anthem. βOlderβ is about requiring alone time to grow, think, study, and love. βSoberβ is about the outrage you feel after being cheated on. Sara says itβs the dumbest song on her album. βHeavy-Heartedβ is about attempting to move on but knowing you havenβt. Itβs about being ghosted and still wishing them happy birthday, vowing youβd never call them again but continually checking your phone and pretending to be okay even when you run into them. βSuitableβ is about spontaneous love, which is always better compared to something thatβs forced. βChangingβ is about being unable to let go of a longtime friendship. βForget Meβ is about recognizing you hurt each other by breaking up. βItβs Hard to Breathe/ I Started a Gardenβ was written during the pandemic. Itβs about not wanting to miss someone and keeping busy with houseplants to grow, learn and heal.
Overall, the album βI Started A Gardenβ sums up the confusion of being in your twenties, the complicated human feelings shared with love interests, and friends, and grappling with feelings of isolation, nostalgia, and feeling out of place.
