“PETALS” captures the tumultuous and unknowable aftermath of heartbreak. As Jayem stated: “In a perfect world, when you get your heart broken, you move on and find peace. But the truth is you can wear that scar for a long time, if not forever. We liked the idea of ending the story in a messy, unsolved kind of way because heartbreak is never clean.”
WOTTS have once again captured our souls with “PETALS” an impressive song blending nostalgia with contemporary edge indie pop. We look forward to discovering their musical journey. Become part of an extraordinary journey offered by this intriguing Canadian duo.
