For upon |Despite her young age, London King is not afraid to sing and write about topics like mental illnesses and her own personal struggle with the condition. There comes a point in every musician’s career where they feel they need to write and express their personal lives and inner battles through their art, and this single “Half The Wolf I Know” does just that. The song is personal, deep, and above all unapologetic.
“This song comes out of a very dark place I have been in, and it carries a message of hope, even in the darkest times,” King explains, whilst speaking of the single. “To suffer from depression, to have a mental illness is nothing to feel ashamed of. There’s a lot of people who are biased and plain ignorant about the matter”. The singer was diagnosed with depression when she was just an early teen and wanted to deliver something extremely personal, not only with this single but with the whole EP which is due to come out in 2019.
