Singer-songwriter Thunderstorm Artis, who rose to fame as a finalist on Season 18 of The Voice, is releasing a new single, “Don’t Let Me Let You Go,” today via global music giant ONErpm. Listen Below.

Written by Hawaii native Artis—who recently moved to Nashville after spending time on the Portland, Ore., music scene—Dakota Striplin (The Voice Australia) and singer-songwriter Phoebe Kathleen Scott, “Don’t Let Me Let You Go” is heartache in a song. Full of quiet moments that build in intensity, underscored by lush instrumentation, “Don’t Let Me Let You Go” is essentially an extended metaphor for a relationship that has lost its rudder:

I don’t wanna lose you to find me
And I know you’re tired of fighting
I wish that my words said enough, but they don’t
So don’t let me let you go

As Artis explains it, “In every relationship and friendship, you’ll find yourself at a crossroads where you just feel like giving up and throwing in the towel, but real love is a choice,” adding that in his own life, “I’m thankful for the special people who, when I was pulling away, just pulled me closer and held onto me and who made me realize we can’t change the past, but we can make a better future.”

Artis, who joined Train for the band’s summer tour, has also recently opened for the Zac Brown Band and will embark on the Don’t Let Me Let You Go Tour this spring. For dates and tickets, visit ThunderstormArtis.com.

He plans to release a second single on ONErpm next month. For more information follow Artis on Instagram and TikTok @ThunderstormArtis, Facebook.com/ThunderstormArtis1 and YouTube.
