breathe (a little)

Artist is available for interviews

Sydney-born rising pop and R&B artist Jade Barbara returns with her new single ‘breathe (a little)’, a dance-pop track infused with Y2K and pop-rap influences. Driven by a punchy, high-energy instrumental and anchored by what early reviewers have described as a “sticky hook,” ‘breathe (a little)’ showcases Jade’s ability to balance commercial appeal with emotional storytelling. The song was inspired by a real-life story Jade encountered; about someone who felt trapped in a relationship they had emotionally outgrown but couldn’t leave. That moment stayed with her, eventually evolving into a track that captures the tension between frustration, attachment, and the need to step back and learn to breathe on your own. “Though I’ve released casual music from my bedroom in the past, I truly believe this song feels like my real debut single, and I’m so excited for the public to hear it. I think it’s the beginning of something really great.” - Jade.
