HALFLIVES release new single 'IMMORTALS'

Having kickstarted 2025 by announcing her biggest headline shows to date and forthcoming festival appearances at both Nova Rock and Rock For People, Italian pop rocker, Halflives, has today followed this up by releasing a defiant new single, Immortals.

Speaking of the new single, Halflives mastermind, Linda Battilani shares, "Immortals" is a call for the minorities, the marginalized, the nonconfirmists and the rejected. It's about defiance, resilience, and self-love. As a lesbian, I've experienced what it's like to be part of a minority. Even being a musician can feel like that - society often doesn't value art or understand what we do unless it fits into a conventional mold. It's still not consistently considered 'a real job' and a valuable contribution to write and play music for a living.

In the music video, there are two girls who want to kiss, but they're held back by the masses. It's a literal representation of the song: no matter how much the world tries to suppress us, our existence is undeniable - an unstoppable force. Even if they 'burn us' and try to erase us, we'll only become louder, more visible, and more real. Their efforts to silence us will only amplify our presence.

If there is one thing to be said about Halflives, it is that it's the existence of the artist itself that tells the story of how to break conventions, pre-established paths and industry norms.

Building her career brick by brick, and through it, sending a message of hope and encouragement to those who feel inadequate, left out and rejected, Halflives has been releasing music since 2016, gaining attention from media tastemakers, continued support from all the major streaming platforms, and bringing together fans who now sell out venues across Europe and the UK.

Now also going as far as co-producing her music, co-directing her music videos, co-designing her merch and more, Linda is embracing her position of creative force, unapologetically expressing her vision and the identity Halflives stands for. No matter who you are or where you're from, you can take your shot.
