New Single Ghosts OUT 31 OCT
DRYADIC RELEASE HAUNTINGLY HOPEFUL NEW SINGLE “GHOSTS” — A FIERCE ODE TO SELF-WORTH AND RESILIENCE
Dryadic’s new single “Ghosts” is out. It’s haunting, hopeful, and honest to the bone. Zora’s voice carries the kind of truth that doesn’t need polish; it trembles, burns, and then heals.
This is a song about shame, self-worth, and the messy beauty of coming back to yourself. It’s the moment you stop apologising for existing, and start naming the ghosts that tried to quiet you.
Piano at the centre, power in every line “Ghosts” is the sound of reclaiming and release.
Listen. Feel it. Let it move through you.
