“Reasons I Tried”: when a voice tears you open without asking permission

Publicado el 30 de abril de 2025, 2:35

Some songs just sound good.
But others—they strike a nerve.
“Reasons I Tried”, the latest release from Her Picture, doesn’t just fall into that second category.
It shatters it, rebuilds it, and burns through it with quiet devastation.

From the very first second, **Anny Tahaney’s voice doesn’t sing—**it summons.
There’s something almost spiritual in the way she delivers each word, her voice teetering on the edge between collapse and transcendence.
It’s haunting, raw, and completely electrifying—the kind of performance that sends shivers down your spine before you even understand why.

"Haunting and apocalyptic… what a great band," wrote The Sunday Times, and they weren’t wrong.
This isn’t just a band making songs.
This is a band creating emotional architecture.


A drama built around silence and fury

“Reasons I Tried” is not just a song.
It’s an emotional confession wrapped in cinematic production.
And at the center of it all is a piano that doesn’t just accompany—it confesses.
Each chord feels like a memory collapsing in slow motion.
Everything around it—Anny’s voice, the echoing atmosphere, the aching pace—builds a world where vulnerability is sacred.

Her Picture isn’t singing about love.
They’re singing about everything that happens after—the regret, the self-blame, the quiet wars we fight with ourselves.
But even in that heaviness, there’s beauty. A tragic kind of tenderness.
And that tension—between collapse and grace—is exactly what makes this band so deeply affecting.


A band born from resistance, rising through resonance

Her Picture’s story is rooted in resilience.
Formed through a free music education program, they’ve carried their belief in accessibility and artistic justice into every release.

Their upcoming EP, “Feed Me Hope”, is a concept record inspired by the Greek myth of the Five Rivers of the Underworld—but reimagined as a journey of healing, breaking generational cycles, and self-forgiveness.

And “Reasons I Tried” is its final offering before the full release.
It doesn’t just close a chapter—it feels like the moment the narrative stops screaming and starts understanding itself.


This isn’t a promise. It’s a proof.

Her Picture isn’t a band to watch someday.
They’re a band that’s already delivering.
With support from BBC Radio 1, NME, Clash Magazine, and appearances across major festival stages, this Glasgow trio is building something that feels urgent, defiant, and necessary.

“Reasons I Tried” isn’t just a single.
It’s a signal.

Alternative music is shifting—and Her Picture is setting the tone with fire in their hands and a piano at the edge of ruin.
