Kimberly Dawn Digs Deep in New Single, Speaking Out on Mental Illness

The country artist debuts a soulful ballad with a vital message of hope, partnering with NAMI for Mental Health Awareness month

LOS ANGELES, CA, USA, May 14, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Country artist Kimberly Dawn’s newest single “The Bottle” co-written with Jeff Cohen, multi-award-winning songwriter sets a message about mental health following a year in which many have suffered. Dawn has committed to sharing her own personal story and encouraging others to participate in the “You are Not Alone” campaign with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). The Nashville-based singer/songwriter is best known for setting real life to music in original songs like “‘93” and award-nominated “Slow Dancin’ in the Dark.” In her latest release, “The Bottle,” Dawn gives voice to the pain of so many struggling with depression and loneliness, bravely confronting the often-stigmatized topic of mental health in a heartfelt, soulful ballad.

“We all live alone with our mistakes,” Dawn sings in her newest title: “hanging onto hope it ain’t too late - and while I’m waiting on a second chance, watching water slip through my hands.”

Behind the song itself lies a hopeful message of courage and connection to community. She intends to spread the word in partnership with NAMI, the largest grassroots mental health organization in the US providing advocacy, education, support, and public awareness. The goal: a better life for all who struggle with mental health challenges. Through their 2021 campaign, “You Are Not Alone,” the group invites the American public to share true stories of struggle and success in managing mental illness. Along with educating the broader public on the rising issue within our country, Dawn’s mission in joining with NAMI is to inspire hope and decrease feelings of isolation.

“Over a year since Coronavirus first arrived, people are struggling more than ever with loneliness and disconnection,” says Dawn. “This song is meant to be a powerful reminder that we all need help sometimes. There’s no shame in reaching out to friends when you’re in need - and let’s strive to be that voice of support in the lives of others.”
