Emerging pop singer-songwriter Simone Strauss has unveiled her debut album, traumatised.
The debut album, co-written by Simone and Veronica Zurzolo (Dolce Blue) and produced by Nic Rollo, comes off the back of her soft-pop singles, corner, vulnerable, crush, and naked.
“traumatised tells the story of a series of difficult situations, pieced together to represent my adolescent growth; heartbreak, loss, abandonment and toxic relationships,” said Strauss. “Encapsulating the difficult emotions that I experienced during the creative process is so important to me to ensure the album tells my story.”
Strauss said the album was inspired by intimate songwriters such as Jorja Smith, Daniel Caesar, Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish. The record dives into the themes of personal conflict with inner reflection, heartbreak and loss, and as the album name suggests, a series of deeply traumatic experiences.
“While being an avenue to accept and share my past, I hope this album resonates with those who also fought through similar situations,” Strauss said. “I felt connections to artists that unlocked the strength inside me to fight challenging times, feelings made me feel less alone and provided the safe space I needed. Those same feelings I hope I can provide to those that need it.”
Simon Strauss’ debut album traumatised is available on all music streaming platforms now.
