Sierra Miles releases "When We're In Hell"

originally published: 03/31/2022

After generating nearly 5 million streams independently, New Jersey singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Sierra Miles has released a new single, “When We’re In Hell,” available now from her forthcoming 2022 album, The Architect distributed by Vydia.

Sierra Miles empowers herself both personally and creatively. The 20-year-old songstress takes control of her vision and destiny as she threads together raw lyrics, theatrical delivery, rock attitude, mysteriously bohemian presentation, and pop universality.

The Architect represents the realization of self-sabotage,” Sierra says. “It captures a moment in time where I stepped into my power and realized that if I can create the life I didn’t want, then I must have the power to create the one I do.” 

The theme of self-sabotage is evident on her latest single, “When We’re in Hell.” Sierra explains, “I wrote When We’re In Hell about the temptation to cheat with someone in a relationship. The story is told from the perspective of ‘the other woman.’ From the outside perspective cheating is obviously the wrong thing to do, yet it happens all the time. I wanted to put myself in the shoes of someone in that situation to try to figure out what’s going through their head and imagine how they would feel about themselves giving in to that temptation.”

For such a young artist, Sierra possesses a substantial back-story. At age 12, as CC Miles (her childhood nickname) she was playing bars in her hometown of Medford Lakes, New Jersey.  Releasing music throughout her teenage years, she experimented with genres and styles, primarily radio-friendly pop music, and generated an early buzz. But with the pandemic lockdown, everything changed.

Sierra says, “I started working with my producer to create a new sound and it was like a door opened in my mind. I found all this inspiration I didn’t even know existed within me. I guess it had been there all along, but I couldn’t see it because I was trying to find myself by looking outside of myself. The best part is I wasn’t trying to be another artist, I was just being myself. These songs came straight from my soul.”

Frightening, enlightening, and authentically entertaining, Sierra Miles silences her inner critic with hard-hitting music, and hopes it encourages others to do the same.
