Ahead of her forthcoming EP, Bershy<\/a> dropped off her latest single, “Sixty Seconds.” The Cincinnati<\/a>-based pop singer wrote the song in a heated moment of relationship doubt.<\/p>\n

“I wrote that song in like 15 minutes after what I can only describe as an existential love crisis,” she told AudioFemme. “I have now been with my partner for like a year, but when we first got together I was like, ‘Oh my god, I’m so in love with you, nothing will ever go wrong.’ And we had our first fight and I was like, ‘Do I even love this person? What do I want out of this?'”<\/p>\n

With the new track, Bershy remembers the value of taking a minute to think things through and accepts that moments of obscurity and self-doubt are a part of relationships.<\/p>\n

“We’re humans, having a squabble, it’s ok,” she said. “‘Give me sixty seconds’ sounded better than, ‘I need a minute,’ but that’s basically what it is.”<\/p>\n

The new track also marks the singer\/songwriter’s second dive into the pop genre<\/a>, following her single, “Say Fire.”<\/p>\n

“I’m like in this weird, experimental phase,” Bershy said. “I’ve been doing folk music since I was like 15 and then switched to ‘dream-pop’ last summer.”<\/p>\n

With two breezy pop singles under her belt, she’s currently working with Cincinnati producer Mike Landis<\/a> to drop one more song, which will be followed with a four-track wrap-up EP, arriving this spring.<\/p>\n

“A lot of the songs are about relationships as a whole,” she said. “I also think [that] being a queer person informs how I think of culture and politics. So, I get a lot of inspiration from that, but love is so easy to write about!”<\/p>\n
