Canadian alt-rock band The Beaches has released another powerful single, "Touch Myself." This song offers an honest look at the messy feelings that follow a breakup. It's from their upcoming third album, "No Hard Feelings." With this track, the band showcases their bold style of tackling emotional struggles in a way that feels both personal and captivating.
The band consists of Jordan Miller (lead vocals and bass), Kylie Miller (guitar), Leandra Earl (keyboards and guitar), and Eliza Enman-McDaniel (drums). The Beaches have established a unique space in the music world, blending alternative rock with real-life storytelling. "Touch Myself" goes deeper, presenting a very personal story that many can relate to but few express openly. The central theme of the song is heartbreak, but it's not your typical love-lost story. As the band puts it, "Touch Myself is about feeling so heartbroken that even the most private moments are ruined by thoughts of an ex. This song gives a clear, unfiltered view of grief that can overwhelm even the most personal experiences, leaving you feeling completely shattered. This honesty makes listeners feel understood, while the energetic music features catchy guitar riffs and driving beats, combined with Jordan Miller's heartfelt singing.
The song was co-written by the band with Justin Tranter and Ryland Blackinton, who also produced it. "Touch Myself" combines relatable lyrics with a strong rock sound, creating a balance between being open and feeling empowered. The emotions of heartbreak, ranging from pain and frustration to a longing for better times, are beautifully expressed throughout the track.
