Breakout singer-songwriter NERIAH is kicking off 2023 with her new single, “Puppet On A String” today. The track is taken from her just-announced third EP, No One Cries Forever, out March 31st via Create Music Group. Highlighting her abilities as a songwriter, “Puppet On A String” finds NERIAH analyzing an unhealthy relationship from a foreign perspective. Listen to the track now below.
“This song is all about flipping the narrative of a toxic, manipulative relationship on its head and envisioning it from the other side, where you are the puppet-master in control,” NERIAH explains. “Writing this helped me reflect on how these situations look on the outside – people aren’t puppets and sometimes you’re just not meant for each other.”
Since releasing her debut EP in 2022 that premiered on The Zane Lowe Show, NERIAH has shown no signs of slowing down. The Los Angeles based songstress was featured on People’s Winter Emerging Artists list, deeming her sophomore EP How Do I Get Clean as “binge-worthy.” Her recent music has received overwhelming support from Spotify, Apple Music, iHeartRadio stations, and TikTok.
