SHIRLEY HURT
RETURNS WITH NEW SINGLE 'HELL OF A LIFE'
LISTEN HERE
OUT NOW ON MELODIC
Shirley Hurt returns today with the highly anticipated new single, 'Hell of a Life'. This new-wave-influenced track marks a bold departure from her previous sound, embracing the infectious, playful spirit of late 70s influences like Tom Tom Club, Television, and Laurie Anderson.
Hurt describes the song as "A sonic manifestation of the bumper sticker quote". "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. It can be hard to know when to quit and when to keep pushing. We all want to get out of the rat race, and we’re all constantly faced with our demons preventing us from doing so. “Hell Of A Life” is a two minute and fifty five second recognition of that.”

Hurt hits the ground running following the release of her critically acclaimed self-titled album with a live set highlighting singles “Empty Hands” and “Charioteer”, the latter which was praised by Shindig! as being “an elegant gem of minimalist art-folk".
Following Shirley Hurt’s 2022 release, Hurt played a series of sold-out shows in Toronto, New York, Austin’s SXSW, Los Angeles, and is slated to continue robust touring coupled with new music releases in the imminent future.
