Staci Gruber is a Boston-based artist to watch. Her brazen charisma and Americana-meets-rock twang makes her a natural storyteller. Her new single “This Time Around” is a boot-stomping breakup anthem that leans into the silver linings of heartbreak.
“This Time Around” ignites the ear with bustling percussion, free-spirited riffs, and powerhouse vocals that bask in the euphoria of a brand new era. Gruber sings, “You pull me back and you put me down / But my heart belongs in this lonesome town / I came on back through without a sound / But I heard ‘ya this time around.” The sharp-pointed lyrics on the track sink their teeth into the energy of revenge. Gruber proves that the best revenge is ultimately loving yourself.
Revealing more on the inspiration behind her track, Gruber confides, “‘This Time Around’ is really a story of love that pulled too hard, truth that came too late, and a heart that finally listened when it mattered most.”
“This Time Around” was written by Staci Gruber and Michael Orland (American Idol). She’s performed alongside the iconic Dan Aykroyd and the Blues Brothers and written songs for Billie Jean King. “This Time Around” marks an exciting new chapter for Gruber as she finds her voice as a singer-songwriter.
