. Last year, she was featured on Julia Michaels’ song “Anxiety.” For both Lovato and Gomez, their personal demons have become a throughline of their artistry.
Linnea Siggelkow, a.k.a. Ellis, just released her dream-pop album “Born Again,” at the beginning of April. Her plans to hit the road have been put on hold because of the quarantine, and she’s been stuck at home in Hamilton, Ontario. Diagnosed with depression, general anxiety disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder and social anxiety, she’s found peace in maintaining daily rituals like sitting with her morning coffee, practicing guitar or exercising.
Like Hayley Williams, Katie Von Schleicher is preparing to promote a new album with the release of “Consummation, due May 22. Von Schleicher battles anxiety, and with the current climate she’s been considering going on medication once again. “I’m in the process of figuring out what would be best to take,” says Von Schleicher, 33. Being alone at home in her Brooklyn apartment hasn’t helped her during this difficult time.
Other musicians have been trying to find moments of self-care where they can. Indie-rock singer Liza Anne, 26, battles generalized anxiety disorder and experiences bouts of depression. Her bold 2018 album “Fine But Dying” tackled managing mental illness while falling in love. “The valleys I’ve felt mentally and emotionally feel like a new low,” she says now. At the same time, she’s had time to “develop meditative practices and new thought patterns” to handle daily life.
