Bedouine — a.k.a. Los Angeles-based folk singer-songwriter, Azniv Korkejian — has announced plans for her third album, Waysides, out October 15 via The Orchard.
When discussing the album's lead single "The Wave," which arrives with its own lyric video today, the singer said in a statement: "I wrote this about the loss of a close friend, specifically the swell of emotion I try to resign myself to when thinking of her premature absence."
Bedouine continued:
She was someone who had an uncomplicated relationship with life and living. I often wondered, "Why her and not me?" I was trying to practice the things I was learning, to surrender to the fear and the grief...and the fear of grief. I haven't entirely worked through it. Writing "The Wave" was a reminder to feel my feelings. At a time of such collective loss, I imagine there are people out there that could relate. It feels cathartic to share.
