Dellwood Offers Comfort and Honesty On New Single ‘It's Alright’

Dellwood, the project of Minneapolis-based artist and producer Chris Bartels, shares his brand new single It's Alright, a smooth and soothing cinematic indie-folk gem. 

 

Out now via Anthem Falls, It's Alright finds the talented artist offering his most compassionate and grounding release to date — a song written not as reassurance from a distance, but as presence inside the weight of real life. A song that emerged from witnessing a close friend enduring a prolonged season of loss, It's Alright is a quiet act of solidarity, letting him know that one is allowed to breathe, even when going through tough times. It's a reminder that hope can exist alongside grief, not after it. 

 

A relatable, honest storytelling that is flawlessly conveyed through Dellwood's hushed, breath-forward vocals which glide beautifully over gentle acoustic fingerpicking guitars and delicate rhythms, together creating an overall warm and intimate atmosphere that is quite soothing and perfect for an introspective day alone.

Speaking about the song, Bartels said,

This song wasn’t written to fix anything. It was written to sit with someone in the hardest stretch of their life — to say, this is brutal, and you’re not wrong for feeling it. But you’re still here. You still matter. There’s still something ahead of you.
