Chelsea Lankes is back with a brand new single called “Matches,” which is premiering exclusively on JustJared.com!
The rising singer-songwriter has returned on Friday (November 17) after a year-long hiatus since the release of her 2016 self-titled EP.
Inspired by a split with an unfaithful ex, the moody track reflects on the betrayal as she angrily assesses the damage.
“This song is a very pointed song directed at someone that deeply hurt me but I wasn’t able to really articulate any of those feelings until months after healing from heartbreak,” she explains.
“It’s about someone’s self-sabotage that led to infidelity and the inability to see how their selfishness was the root cause of the way things ended. No one can see themselves objectively but especially in situations when you’re the bad guy, you victimize and you tell yourself reasons why you did what you did so you can use excuses to water down the truth to make yourself seem like less of a monster. But in the end, lying to yourself makes no difference when the damage has been done.”
