Exclusive Video Premiere: Sonia Rao’s “Little Blue Room”

In our Fall 2013 issue, we featured former The Voice contestant, singer-songwriter Sonia Rao, whose sophomore album, Los Angeles Part 1, dropped last week. Now we’ve got the exclusive video premiere of the emotionally charged single “Little Blue Room.”

“I wrote ‘Little Blue Room’ about time and love,” says Rao. “It was in writing this song that I figured out that it was time to end a relationship, a tough process, but I love songwriting for that reason. If I’m ever unclear about which step to take, I’ll start writing a song and by the end of it, I’m usually pretty certain about what I truly want. The video is a bit surprising, but I’m hoping that people will see the metaphor in it.”
