Hallie Marie’s latest single “Pure (Don’t You Still Remember?)” begins quietly, as a softly strummed acoustic guitar and her voice bring you into a place that feels like her personal space. It’s not just a breakup song; it’s a song about emotional distance. She doesn’t shout or beg — she asks for nothing. She speaks gently into the void left when someone you once knew becomes a stranger. Her rawness is subdued, but powerful. She sings, “Now you won’t even look at me, am I nothing to you?” and it hits you like a gentle jab. The lyric is honest and vulnerable.
The song gradually swells as it progresses. Layered harmonies start to fill the void left by the guitar, but all the voices are her own. It’s like you’re watching someone stitch themselves back together in real-time. Her voice doesn’t just carry words, it carries weight, emotion, and memory. There’s a line in the song where she sings, “If you only see a woman as Mary the virgin or Mary the other… you should take a look at your hands”, and it’s sharp and eye-opening. You feel the burn of being misjudged, pigeonholed, and then dismissed. The lyric gives the song depth and a little bit of grit, without being sour.
What makes “Pure” stand out is how much it says while remaining quiet. It’s not trying to be big, but it leaves a mark. The production is barebones, but every part counts — from the well-laid vocal layers to the atmospheric feel that comes in by the end. Hallie Marie isn’t just singing about being forgotten — she makes you feel it. And in doing so, she shows that even silence can speak volumes. This song proves she’s an artist to watch.
