MAURA STREPPA RELEASES FOURTH SINGLE OF THE YEAR: “I’M TRYING”
Maura Streppa unveils her stirring new single, “I’m Trying” as a heartfelt, anthemic reflection on the journey of shedding self-doubt and embracing authenticity. “I’m Trying” follows her recent singles “Silver,” “Feel It Yet,” and “Silver” as the next bold step in her evolving sound.
Discussing the song’s origins, Streppa shares, “I wrote ‘I’m Trying’ for the version of me that spent years shape-shifting, apologizing, proving, and pretending,” capturing the universal struggle to break free from conformity and live with purpose. Over its three-minute runtime, “I’m Trying” fused emotive vocals with soaring melodies (Streppa’s trademark style) offering a raw, relatable confession that resonates long after the final chord.
