Breakout star Audrey Hobert unveils a new song, “Bowling alley,”. Entirely written by Audrey, the track arrives alongside a self-directed video. Listen here.
“‘Bowling alley’ is about thinking nobody wants you to go to their party even though you were cordially invited (self-involved feeling), and also about people who you’ve known for years only acknowledging you when you do something exciting artistically and in the public eye,” says Audrey. “I’ve experienced both things, and I thought, ‘Heck, put it to music girl.’ ‘Bowling alley’ is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written. If Audrey Hobert were a song, it would probably be this one.”
Furthermore, Audrey played her first ever live shows at The Slipper Room in New York last week with two sold out sets and will make her L.A. debut on June 24 at The Elysian Theater with another sold out night. Audrey’s debut single, “Sue me,” also delivered with a self-directed video, has been streamed more than 8 million times and seen explosive viral success in the few weeks since release.
A lifelong singer, musical theatre devotee and dancer, Audrey got her first taste of songwriting when childhood best friend and then-roommate Gracie Abrams pulled Audrey into the making of her album The Secret of Us. Together, they wrote some of Gracie’s standouts like “I Love You, I’m Sorry” and “Risk”—for which Audrey directed the music videos—as well as current global hit “That’s So True.”
Working a job in T.V. writing at the time, Audrey had no intention of becoming a songwriter, let alone an artist. But she enjoyed the experience immensely, and when she went back to writing songs after Gracie’s album, thinking she was writing for other artists, she realized she was writing them for herself.
Audrey is a one woman show—writing songs, directing and editing videos, fully realizing all aspects of her music from start to finish. “Bowling alley” is just another taste of what’s to come.
