If you’ve grown up in the spotlight, you know the pain and pressure that comes with that. Feeling herself overcooked and under the needle, Connie Talbot depicts her journey with “Growing Pains,” the titular cut to her new EP. “I wanna thank you for the pain / Without the tears, I might not have ever changed,” she admits in the opening line. Such a confession primes the listener for the exact emotional journey they’re about to sojourn. Glistening with star-bound synths and driving percussion, “Growing Pains” sees Talbot confronting her past and seizing her present in the hopes of solidifying her future. Every word cuts deep, and her voice hits even deeper. Just listen.
