Brisbane-based singer-songwriter Asha Jefferies was suffering a serious case of writer\u2019s block last year, when inspiration struck. The end of a long-term relationship provided her with permission to question her identity, her goals, and \u2013 ultimately \u2013 her sense of self; it wasn\u2019t an ideal situation, but it certainly cured Jefferies\u2019 creative paralysis. She wrote the beautiful, reflective \u201cCrybaby<\/a>,\u201d which features a more poppy sound than the melodic indie folk of her previous singles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe song is mostly about realizing the personal freedom that I had, and that I wasn’t allowing myself to have,\u201d Jefferies says. \u201cIt’s so easy to tell yourself that you can’t do this or you can’t do that, but at the end of the day, you’re the only one that’s holding yourself back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
