GEM Brings Vulnerability to the Forefront with Debut Single ‘Hurt To Exist’

Istanbul’s GEM is ready to take the world by storm with her debut single ‘Hurt To Exist’. A cathartic release of pent-up emotion and self-reflection, the song is a fearless reflection of GEM’s struggles with self-doubt and inner conflict. Unlike anything in today’s music landscape, ‘Hurt To Exist’ blends gritty, aggressive vocals with moments of haunting beauty, creating a sonic journey that’s as unpredictable as it is captivating.

The track is not just a reflection of GEM’s personal battles; it’s an invitation for listeners to confront their own struggles. In it, she explores the cyclical nature of negative self-talk and impulsivity, but she doesn’t stop there. Instead of wallowing in these emotions, GEM turns them into something powerful, ultimately delivering a message of resilience and empowerment. It’s a raw, unfiltered anthem for anyone who has ever questioned their own worth or battled with their darkest thoughts.

With ‘Hurt To Exist’, GEM offers a fresh voice in a music world that often feels too safe and formulaic. Expect the unexpected as GEM continues to push boundaries and redefine what it means to be an artist in 2025. Don’t miss her debut single—it’s available now on all streaming platforms and will set the stage for her upcoming EP, Overthinker.
