Nashville Singer-Songwriter Brennan Wedl Releases New Single 'High Priestess'

The music scene is abuzz with the upcoming release of Brennan Wedl's eponymous debut album, set to arrive in just a few days. As a precursor to the album's launch, Wedl has been sharing captivating previews of her work, including "Pretty Little Fantasy," "Let's Be Models," and "Two Dollar Pistol." The latest addition to this collection is the enchanting ballad "High Priestess," which draws inspiration from the tarot card of the same name.

According to Wedl, the song "High Priestess" is a poignant reflection on the human experience, told from the perspective of someone embarking on an aimless drive through their hometown at night. This narrative is deeply rooted in the symbolism of the tarot card, which represents the power of intuition and inner wisdom. However, Wedl notes that the narrator in the song struggles to accept the reality of their situation, instead opting to obscure the truth with their own human agenda.

From a tarot perspective, Wedl explains that the narrator's actions are reminiscent of the 2 of Swords and the Magician cards, which represent the struggle to balance opposing forces and the desire to control one's destiny. The High Priestess, on the other hand, is a symbol of wisdom and intuition, who will not sugarcoat the truth. Wedl's interpretation of the tarot card adds a layer of depth to the song, inviting listeners to reflect on their own relationship with the past and the present.

The single "High Priestess" is a hauntingly beautiful addition to Wedl's discography, and fans can look forward to the full album release on August 21 via ANTI-.
