The Narrative explores parenthood and personal growth in new single ‘Higher’

The Narrative is an indie/alt/pop duo hailing from Nashville, TN. Their latest release, the EP ‘New Anxieties’, culminates with the final track, “Higher”, a collaborative effort that delves into the transformative journey of parenthood.
Suzie Zeldin and Jesse Gabriel, the driving forces behind The Narrative, initially bonded over their shared passion for creating music. From their humble beginnings writing songs in Suzie’s New York apartment to touring nationally and gaining critical acclaim, the duo has consistently delivered music that connects on a profound level.
“Higher” is a great example of The Narrative’s evolution as both musicians and individuals. Infused with 80’s-inspired synthwave pop elements, the song captures the essence of introspection and growth. Suzie and Jesse, who are also parents, draw from their own experiences to explore the complex emotions associated with parenthood.
The track reflects on the loss of their pre-parenthood selves while embracing the newfound fulfillment that comes with raising a child. Through poignant lyrics and mesmerizing melodies, “Higher” offers listeners an intimate glimpse into the band’s journey of self-discovery and reinvention.
‘New Anxieties’ as a whole showcases The Narrative’s knack for crafting infectious hooks and intricate instrumental arrangements. Each song on the EP contributes to a cohesive narrative, demonstrating the duo’s ability to tap into creative artistry.
