Written By: Big C

Even the truth hurts when it’s dressed as a lie. Rising singer-songwriter Braden Bales delivers a gut-punch of emotion in his latest single YOU LIED. Known for his introspective ballads and haunting honesty, Bales continues to unravel the emotional knots of heartbreak and grief in this searing track. As a precursor to his forthcoming EP 5 STAGES OF GRIEF, this release confronts betrayal head-on with lyrical precision and chilling vulnerability. His raw delivery and confessional tone resonate deeply, over a lean simplistic production. Bales reflects on the single, stating:

This song was born out of one of the most painful moments in my breakup. It crushed me to hear someone I loved distort our story. 'YOU LIED' lives in the depression stage of grief, it's the lowest, heaviest part of the process.

With many fans and critics drawing comparisons to the candid writing style of artists like Lewis Capaldi and FINNEAS, Bales’ evocative voice and soul-baring storytelling is in the spotlight. Following his first headlining tour, Braden Bales joins fellow alt-pop singer Livingston for The Story Continues North American tour. As anticipation builds for "5 STAGES OF GRIEF," Bales continues to build momentum with each release, showcasing an unflinching commitment to emotional truth in his music.
