Ottawa-based indie pop-rock musician Heliara shares her new single ‘Cloak of Fear’ out now on all digital streaming platforms. Listen here.
‘Cloak of Fear’ is a powerful pop-rock anthem about anxiety and loss of self esteem, carrying with it a message of hope and empowerment. On this track, the piano and guitar co-exist in a game between dark and light. The juxtaposition of the song’s darker themes with its uplifting melody creates an inspiring contrast, making it not just a reflection on struggle, but a celebration of resilience.
“‘Cloak of Fear’ is the most honest song that I’ve ever written,” says Heliara. “It is equal parts power, vulnerability and kindness, and I am honoured and humbled to share it with the world.”
Heliara is a passionate singer-songwriter and storyteller and has been writing songs for as long as she can remember. She released her debut album Starry Skies in 2022, which features piano, voice, cello and bass and touches on themes of love, friendship, exploration, motherhood and working for your fairy tale. In 2023, she released an indie folk track entitled ‘Under The Pines’ about intergenerational love and dedicated to her late grandfather. And earlier this year, she released another single ‘He’s (No) James Bond‘, a dark indie pop track that takes a twist on a classic story, blending cellos, pianos, and her smooth vocals.
‘Cloak of Fear’ is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide.
