Sandra Bouza: The Bottle
Toronto musician Sandra Bouza leans into her blues-rock roots with her new single and video ‘The Bottle', out now on all digital streaming platforms.
'The Bottle’ is about Sandra's struggle with addiction and how alcohol and drugs were such a big part of her identity that she had a hard time separating those parts from the healthy parts that she wanted to keep in her sobriety.
"'The Bottle' is a song I wrote from the perspective of the person I used to be when I was using, and all the different personalities that came out of my 'partying' persona and the conflict between all of those characters," says Sandra. "The many different angles and reflections in the video represent all of those different personalities, and never really knowing which one is the real Sandra, just like you would see in a person struggling with addiction."
Known as a musical shapeshifter, playing R&B, Soul, Rock, and everything in between, Sandra has a lot to offer through her music and life experience. Having spent a large part of her life traveling, Sandra’s worldly vision is evident in her songwriting. Sandra lets her stories breathe in songs that are deeply personal. Everything came together for Sandra during an artist’s residence on Halls Island, where she wrote most of the material for her upcoming album, A Sound in the Dark.
