“Although I’m happily married, breakup songs are my favourite to write,” says Hamiltonian singer-songwriter, Roslyn Witter.
Following her exploration of a friend’s breakup from an abusive partner in her previous single, “Letting Her Go,” Witter is returning with a first person reflection on ‘that a**hole ex’ that everyone’s experienced.
“If you’re not here, I must be in the right place,” Witter asserts over breezy country pop-rock and mandolin inflections. “Heartbreak Lane” is a vulnerable yet confident song that finds Witter picking up the pieces as she “[rips] that Bandaid off [of her] skin,” looking the pain of love lost straight in the eye.
