Eva Westphal shares viral TikTok anthem ‘Things Don’t Fit’
Based in New York City, Eva began writing her own songs at the age of 13. Seven years later, the artist has turned heads across the globe. Though she is classically trained, her transition to pop music has led to various successful gigs, including singing at Fenway Park and Outside the Box Music Festival, as well as being a featured artist on top Boston radio stations such as Mix 104.1 and Country 102.5. Distinguished musicians have commented on her unique voice, with Alicia Keys pointing out Eva’s “pure tone” on The Voice: Snapchat, and Mix 104.1 calling her “one to watch”.
Speaking about the iconic new release, Eva shares, “Things Don’t Fit is about growing out of your old self — physical and mental. Inspired by an accidental ripping of an old prom dress, the song details my gratitude for how far I’ve come in my eating disorder recovery, which led me to become the proud, independent, musical, loud, driven 21 year old I am today. I hope that this song inspires other people to love themselves and their growth, too.”
Empowering and a role model for the next generation, Eva Westphal’s journey hasn’t been all roses and rainbows. Detailing the importance of growth, ‘Things Don’t Fit’ feels like a coming of age anthem that would sit perfectly in an episode of your favourite feel-good programme where the protagonist’s story finally ends right. Inspired by the remarkable ‘Evermore’ by Taylor Swift, the acoustic pop number is certainly chart-worthy and comes across as innovative yet nostalgic to yesteryears.
An advocate for LGBTQ+ causes, which is something close to the songwriter’s heart, Eva regularly teams up with organizations like It Gets Better, Phluid Project, and Project HEAL to spread awareness through music for LGBTQ+ issues and mental health.
