Jill Barber "Mercy"

Jill Barber has released the video for "Mercy," the second single from her upcoming album Metaphora. "On 'Mercy,' Barber implores listeners to practice self-compassion in the form of showing mercy to themselves," says American Songwriter, who debuted the track. "She contrasts the powerful narrative with spare piano and gently swelling strings, an arrangement that also provides ample space for her nimble vocals to take center stage." 

The song was inspired by a weekend spent with a friend struggling with depression. It's a reminder that "if you're loved you're not alone," the Canadian songwriter tells Billboard. "There are people that are standing with you and want to see you get better. It's really a love song but also I'm trying to add my voice to a growing chorus of voices trying to remove stigma from mental illness, trying to put it out there in the world so we can all be more connected to one another."
 
On Metaphora, Jill Barber bursts back onto the stage with a bold and daring offering of music, confidently executed with the style and grace of a woman who knows exactly what she's doing.
