Gotta let you go, a song about mental health, love and addiction is out today!

H2THE & FLAVIA TAKE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES HEAD ON WITH “GOTTA LET YOU GO.”

The loss of Mac Miller, Avicii, and XXXTentacion are just a few young musicians this year to highlight the increasing crisis surrounding mental health, the lack of resources to address it, and the stigma and isolation that come with it.

The latest track by h2the and Flavia, though on first listen may sound like the lyrics of a love and break up song, take these issues head on. While the beat and vocals are upbeat, beautiful and bangin’, the theme of it goes much deeper.

We all know what it’s like to hit rock bottom. Sometimes we’re so deep down the rabbit hole that we can’t even “see the tunnel ’til the lights come on”. Mental illness, and addiction aren’t widely understood in society. It often feels like people struggling with these issues have to deal with it alone. We wanted to write a song that flipped the perspective for someone struggling with these issues. With lyrics like, “I was floating ’til it all came crashing to the floor…what a beautiful view”. Flavia paints the picture that sometimes crashing back to reality, grounding yourself, and starting fresh after rock bottom can be a really beautiful place to be.

Flavia is an electronic singer-songwriter, and producer who’s lived in Ireland, Italy, and just about every corner of the US before landing in LA. Her live show is a sonic and visual experience with colorful light and projection displays. This year she performed at SXSW in Austin, various festivals on the West coast and released her debut single, Hateful, which his 100K streams independently.

h2the, who just premiered his latest track on Spotify’s official Fresh Finds playlist, merges 80s synths and layered beats, brought to life through dynamic visuals and sound. The Village Voice described his productions as “adventurous and banging.” 2DOPEBOYZ and Vibe Magazine’s allhiphop.com have also noted h2the’s rap flips of 80′s inspired sonics. He’s the producer as auteur as every track takes you through the emotional space of the artist, like Kanye or Godard.

“Gotta Let You Go”, speaks to the listeners of relationships gone bad, but for the listeners dealing with mental health and addiction issues, it strikes a chord with lyrics like, “Turn off the lights, can’t go outside, board up the windows to my mind, take a step back, won’t see the tunnel till the lights come on, been holding on to you for so long, gotta let you go, gotta let you go, thought it was love, but I was so wrong, gotta let you go, least now I know”.
