Skin Deep
By Katy Tunbridge
Your permission slip to stop rushing and just feel it.
About the Song
A raw Americana/roots ballad that blends aching vulnerability with soulful grit.
Driven by guitars and heartfelt vocals, Skin Deep cuts to the core of heartbreak and healing—“Cuts the heart skin deep, makes me feel so cheap.
Sounds like: If Bonnie Raitt and Sheryl Crow shared the mic on a late-night confession that turns pain into resilience.
