dePresno Releases New Song “Emotional Punching Bag”
Norwegian singer-songwriter Bjarte de Presno Borthen, aka dePresno released a new song “Emotional Punching Bag” on March 3, 2023.
The song is the fourth single off of his upcoming fourth studio album, which is expected to be released later this year.
The track was written by Bjarte de Presno Borthen and Odd Martin Skålnes. Produced by Odd Martin Skålnes.
Bjarte de Presno Borthen said of the song, “The song in itself is really just about the need to be there for your loved ones. It’s really hard when people you love go through rough patches and you kind of just have to sit back and watch it unfold and you do what you can to make it easier but at the end of the day, it’s never your responsibility you not necessarily anything you really can do, so this song is just my way of being there for the people in my life I suppose. It’s equally kind of writing for myself, my girlfriend, and my brother. All humans go through horrible things and we have to endure things that might feel impossible in the moment, but just remember that it’ll get better, and just talk to someone to find your emotional punching bag. It might be a therapist it might be a friend it might be something completely different.”- He said of his forthcoming new music, “This new material is really about emotional vulnerability. Vulnerability isn’t just being able to be vulnerable in the sense of bad things happening or being honest to yourself and those around you about everything. It’s also about availability in a positive sense of it. Being brave enough to love and being brave enough to just stay in those positive (as well as the negative) emotions. I’m a massive fan of cliches for instance. All cliches are cliches for a reason, and this is probably one of the first albums I’ve written where I’ve just kind of gone all out and I have to be honest it feels kind of great. It feels good to be able to love and grieve loudly.”
