Braden Bales explores loss and emotional honesty in new EP “5 STAGES OF GRIEF”, out now.
With his new EP 5 STAGES OF GRIEF, Braden Bales invites listeners into a deeply personal and unfiltered exploration of love, loss, and healing. The release, now available via Capitol Records, delivers emotional authenticity with poetic force.
Bales explains: “It’s raw and honest and vulnerable to the point of self-deprecation. Learn from my mistakes, grieve with me, or passively listen.”
The five-track project moves through emotional terrain with precision and empathy. Whether you’re processing your own heartbreak or searching for meaning in pain, Bales offers a companion through the dark.
In “WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT,” the only new track on the EP, Bales reflects on hindsight and emotional evolution, closing the cycle with both regret and clarity.
This isn’t just another pop project. 5 STAGES OF GRIEF positions Bales not only as a songwriter, but as a storyteller capable of transforming lived experience into collective healing.
