In her new release, “In My Bones,” Mia Humphrey returns to herself after a period of losing herself and questioning who she is. Based upon a journal entry from the summer of 2024, this song is a celebration of Humphrey rediscovering and reconnecting with who she is at her core. Throughout the song, Humphrey details the joy of finally coming back into her own, saying that “[she] can feel it in [her] chest / that this is coming to an end,” finding joy in the known. With inspiration drawing from Noah Kahan’s “Northern Attitude,” Humphrey’s take on a folk-pop celebration shows clearly that she doesn’t only know who she is, but also knows where she shines.
“In My Bones” covers the troubling journey of losing yourself, but the relief of knowing that you’ll know yourself again soon enough. Through reminders of who she is and “sifting through the memories” of what has happened, Humphrey returns triumphant to herself instead of “[loving] until [she loses herself],” getting herself out of a cycle that’s trumped not only her life, but a lot of listener’s lives as well. Tackling a topic that can be hard to approach emotionally, Humphrey does so by acknowledging the past and reminding herself that relearning herself are “the pains of growing.” Humphrey is not only successful at reminding herself that there’s a light of the end of the tunnel when relearning herself, but also is successful by reminding listeners on their own journey as well.
Mia Humphrey is a singer-songwriter who was raised in Alexandria, Virginia. A recent graduate from Brown University, Humphrey was not only a student but pursuing her own music career as well. First releasing music during the summer of 2020, Humphrey has released three EP’s as of late: “Project Red Notebook,” “The Garden,” and “White Flags.” Releasing “In My Bones” on her graduation weekend, Humphrey looks back on all of the versions of herself, throughout her music and her own journal entries, in celebration. With “In My Bones” becoming the lead single off of Humphrey’s newest project, Humphrey’s voice is one that listeners can’t get enough of.
