News:
Hello Aria, congratulations on the release of your second
single "Embrace it". Why was this song picked as the
second single?
Thank
you! For the second single, we chose this song because of the
message and story in the song. The song is about embracing everything
about yourself and also about a friend who is being bullied
and me telling her not to let it change who she is. Nowadays,
bullying is a really big issue and we wanted to put out a positive
song to help raise awareness to this issue and help people going
through it.
WCR
News: How was the response from your fans to
your first single "I still believe in Fairy Tales"?
It
was great! I got a lot of views, likes and great comments on
the music video and a lot of people told me how it made them
feel better in rough times. For an artist, all you really want
is for people to be helped and inspired by your music so I was
so happy to hear that this song had achieved that a bit. That
was a really big goal of mine for that song.
WCR
News: What is your hope for "Embrace it"
as a single?
I
really hope it helps people who are being bullied or who have
a friend being bullied. I hope it helps raise awareness for
such an ugly issue and helps people to realize that they were
born how they are for a reason and they should be proud of who
they are, not cover it up. I also hope that through the story
of Cassie coming to me and me helping her out that my fans will
see that they should go to someone if they are being bullied
because someone can help them. Also, if they know someone who
is being bullied then I hope the song will inspire them to be
that friend to that person because sometimes all a person really
needs is someone to listen and be there for them. We also plan
to tie a lot of different things with this song to help promote
anti-bullying and self-acceptance.
WCR
News: Thank you for your time. Is there anything else
you would like to say to your fans?
Thank you! I would like to say thank you to my fans, my butterflies,
for their support. I also want to say that I hope they can relate
to this song and remember to embrace all they are!
