Alysia Kraft Finds Solace Through Hardship With Debut Solo Single “Cold Mountain”

“Cold Mountain” is an earthy folk tune acknowledging the immensity of pain, loss, and struggle as a first step toward healing and making a change.
Singer-songwriter Alysia Kraft delivers a striking performance on her debut solo single, “Cold Mountain,” out February 18th. As the first song from her upcoming record First Light, out later this year, “Cold Mountain” introduces the project with a sonic breath of fresh air. The Wyoming born artist has made a beloved reputation for herself in the Wyoming and Colorado music scenes; “Cold Mountain” showcases a different side of Kraft’s artistry following her work with Whippoorwill and The Patti Fiasco, inviting listeners to experience the ethereal whimsy inherent to this track’s lush, bioluminescent folk soundscape. Fans of HAIM, Waxahatchee, and Kacey Musgraves will find themselves right at home immersed in Kraft’s lush vocals and melancholy-steeped poetry. “Cold Mountain” is set to make an emotional appearance in the short film, Be Still, premiering at the Front Range Film Festival in Longmont, CO, on February 19 for which it recently won the Indie Short Fest award for “Best Original Song”.

“Cold Mountain” came to Kraft like a breath of fresh air; having grown up in rural Wyoming, this song finds it’s roots in the same grandness of the windswept plains the queer artist took refuge in while enduring various struggles for acceptance and understanding throughout life. Kraft wrote this track “in a moment of fully feeling how brutal and beautiful life can be all at once.” For her, “Cold Mountain” is an exploration of the ways in which we “find the space to feel both the grief and hope we need to keep going.” As co-producer, Kraft made it a point to create something that felt true to the place and emotion of the song. In collaboration with J. Tom Hnatow (producer, mixing engineer) and Justin W. Craig (producer, mixing engineer), Kraft brought her vision to life as a brilliantly multi-dimensional final product. Alysia Kraft partnered with SonaBLAST! Records to create this project, adding her captivating artistic signature to their acclaimed catalog.
Fans can stream “Cold Mountain” on all major streaming platforms on February 18th.
More about Alysia Kraft:
Having amassed devoted regional followings for projects Whippoorwill and The Patti Fiasco as a celebrated songwriter and incomparably magnetic frontwoman, Kraft has sold out most of Colorado’s big stages and directly supported icons Bon Jovi, Blondie, Nathanial Rateliff and Bonnie Raitt on significantly bigger ones. Embracing the complexities of growing up queer on a cattle ranch in small-town Wyoming and choosing to love within a landscape that didn’t always love back, “First Light” is a triumphant homecoming and a defining solo debut. Smart, retro-influenced indie pop and lush, bioluminescent folk will find crossover appeal with fans of HAIM, Sheryl Crow, Sharon Van Etten, and Waxahatchee. Enlisting close collaborator J. Tom Hnatow & Grammy-nominated Justin Craig to produce and mix and acclaimed engineer, Sarah Register to master, “First Light” is open-hearted and thoughtfully hook-adorned– with soundscapes as dimensional as Kraft’s western upbringing and the liberated narratives contained therein.

Adult Film Star Bonnie Blue Alleges Record-Breaking 12-Hour Marathon

In today’s world, where becoming famous can often mean doing outrageous things, adult film star Bonnie Blue has made a shocking claim that has everyone talking. She says she’s set a new world record by sleeping with 1,057 men in just 12 hours. If this is true, it would break previous records and raise many questions about such an achievement’s practicality, ethics, and health implications. This announcement comes during a trend among adult performers who are pushing the limits with what they can do in these “sex marathons.” For example, another performer, Lily Phillips, recently made headlines for spending time with 100 men in 24 hours.
With Blue’s jaw-dropping claim, she might have taken the spotlight away from Phillips, assuming Blue’s story holds up. Bonnie Blue described the experience as “just a rotating circle.” While her choice of words is intriguing, the main topic of discussion online has been whether such a feat is even possible. So far, no official proof or documentation has emerged to back up her claim, leaving many people doubtful about how such a marathon could realistically happen. Bonnie Blue’s alleged record attempt fits this trend of shocking stunts aimed at capturing the fleeting nature of internet fame. However, with something as unbelievable as this, many want more evidence before believing it.
Without proof, debates are heating up online about whether this is merely a publicity stunt or a record-breaking achievement. This claim also sparks conversations about what performers will do to get noticed in an industry that often relies on pushing limits. Some people admire Blue for her ambitious claim, while others are concerned about such an endeavor’s possible mental and physical impacts. The internet thrives on sensational stories, and this one certainly fits the bill. It remains to be seen if her name will go down in history as a record holder or fade into the background of viral drama.
