Rising artist Braden Bales returns with “YOU LIED,” a powerful new single released via Capitol Records. The track gives listeners a raw look at the depression stage of heartbreak and serves as the latest glimpse into his anticipated EP 5 STAGES OF GRIEF, due out this summer.
Braden Bales turns emotional devastation into sonic expression with “YOU LIED,” capturing the fragile space between remembrance and resentment. Honest and aching, the track explores the tension of broken trust and how grief transforms connection into reflection.
