SA: Listen to Nicholas Joubert’s new single Hollywood Hills
South African musician Nicholas Joubert has released a new single called ‘Hollywood Hills’.
The song is available for streaming and download on all major digital platforms. The singer, who underwent a healing process during the writing of the single, says the journey was a tumultuous one.
“It was like I could breathe again,” Joubert said. “It felt like I let go of the person who I was in my failed relationship and in doing so, I shaped a better, new Nicholas through my pain. It is sort of like a snake shedding its skin. I felt ready to face the trials of life again.”
The song follows his debut single ‘Someone New’, which is about the breakup during the storm, whereas ‘Hollywood Hills’ is about its aftermath.
“After my breakup, I felt like acting out and being rebellious,” he said. “It is like being an actor in my own film. I wanted to run away from my daily life and travel to a fantasy land, where I could chase my wildest dreams. The idea behind the track, although metaphorically written, was to go settle somewhere where I could escape my pain and surrender myself to my new reality.”
Joubert says he hoped his latest single will build onto the success of ‘Someone New’. “I am blessed to be able to share my journey and have the public witness my journey. Ultimately, I’d like the public to grow with me because that gives my journey a purpose and meaning. To me, that is the greatest gift one can give to society.”
