Hallie Marie’s "Sanity" is the Soundtrack to Wild Nights—And Their Consequences

Denver, CO (March 18, 2025) - Hallie Marie has never been one to play it safe, and her new single "Sanity" dives headfirst into the chaos of impulsiveness and the thrill of not knowing where the night—or life—might take you. "Sanity" follows the release of the emerging alternative artist's successful rock ballad “Indebted” - and showcases the evocative songwriting and powerful vocal delivery that fans are coming to love her for.

Blending alternative rock energy with an underlying punk attitude, "Sanity" mirrors the emotional whiplash of chasing freedom but waking up to the consequences. A song about losing yourself in the moment, getting swept away by new loves and new places - It starts with an easy, infectious rhythm, the kind that makes you want to dance in dimly lit rooms with strangers. Then, the song swerves into something weightier, unraveling into a moment of raw reflection. The shift mirrors the story it tells—excitement giving way to the cold slap of reality. 

Lyrically, "Sanity" is soaked in restless energy. The verses feel like speeding down a highway with no clear destination, while the chorus is an explosion of self-awareness—equal parts reckless and self-destructive. Lines like "Well, I left my keys in another city / where the nights are long and the girls are pretty" capture that sense of escapism, while "If I wake in the morning with a heart attack / if I fall from heaven and it all goes black" hint at the inevitable crash. This vivid portrayal of the rollercoaster of emotions that one can experience beautifully captures the highs and lows of life, painting a picture of the fragility of happiness and the harshness of reality.

Hallie Marie is a multifaceted artist who beautifully balances light and shadow in her work. With an intellectually curious spirit, she dives deep into the complexities of human emotions, crafting music that resonates with listeners on many levels — from the highs of love and joy to the depths of melancholy. Drawing inspiration from artists like Sufjan Stevens, Billy Joel, and Phoebe Bridgers, Hallie’s sound blends pop, rock, and folk influences, creating a genuine connection through heartfelt lyrics and relatable storytelling.

Collaborating with the Denver-based band Direville, Hallie Marie has already begun to make her mark on the music industry with popular releases “Sympathy” and “Free Spirit”, among others. Now branching out on her own, her solo music endeavors combine poetic mystical imagery with direct and casual insight derived from raw life experience. 

Embracing the beauty of authenticity and connecting with each of us at our core, Hallie invites her audience into her world, sharing not just her music but also her creative process — writing, arranging, and recording — along with the benefit of what she has learned through struggle and resilience. She aims to connect deeply with her listeners, sharing meaningful ideas that resonate long after the music ends.
