Piper Connolly Is Striking and Emotional On Powerhouse Anthem “muse”
Samantha Colleran, July 2024
For thirteen year old Arizona born Piper Connolly, being a performer is something she always knew she wanted to do. Piper has been honing her craft from a very young age, and the result is a stunning blend of sonic exploration that has led listeners to compare her to the likes of Avril Lavigne and Hayley Williams. Effortlessly blending elements of rock, 90s grunge, ska, and R&B, as well as drawing inspiration from artists such as Queen, Dave Grohl, Melanie Marintez, and Luke Spiller, Piper’s sound is incredibly unique and has gained the attention of listeners everywhere. Her most recent release, “muse”, is a hard hitting rock track that is striking in its delivery and establishes Connolly as a force in the music industry.
“muse” is based on a real life experience where Piper found herself navigating the complexities of unrequited love and friendship. The lyrics were born from Piper’s journal, where she wrote about her thoughts and feelings regarding her unrequited infatuation and fear of losing the person in question entirely. “The kicker, though, was that we made an awesome team creatively. So, I faced a choice: let my emotions mess with our vibe or keep pushing forward and make some great stuff,” Piper shares about the track. “I went with the latter, deciding that our collaboration was more important than my one-sided crush.”
Piper hopes that listeners who relate to the lyrics of “muse” know that everything will be okay, “We all have our choices to make and they aren’t all easy– but you’re not alone”. Piper’s heart wrenching delivery of the lyrics coupled with the edgy flair of the intoxicating guitar track and hard hitting drums allows the track to become a powerhouse anthem that listeners won’t be able to get enough of.
As an artist, Piper hopes to have more opportunities to create and release music that people can relate to, as well as share that music with live audiences whenever she can. With new music on the horizon, Piper hopes to further expand her community of listeners and create a safe space for her fans.
