Stephanie Heitz – Fading Away (2021)

Stephanie Heitz wrapped vulnerability around the question of forgiving someone you used to love in ‘Grace’. With her new single ‘Fading Away’, she offers a positive message about self-worth and embracing your true value. If you find yourself trying to constantly prove your worth to someone, this is the song you need to truly find your worth.

Drawing on her own experience of trying to find her self-worth, Heitz creates a single that lifts your spirits and fortifies your inner strength. With a soulful RnB sound, she brings a vulnerability to the track that provides a fresh and edgy sound. The RnB, jazz and soul of her childhood swirls into her modern sound for a listening experience you won’t forget.



‘Fading Away’ plucks its way into your ear with a bluesy soul vibe. The popping feeling of the music is enhanced by the vibrations of the beats that enter. It is a very different melody that you don’t get to hear too often. While different, there is a delightful flow to it that you can’t help but enjoy. The clicking and melodic flows interplay with perfection for a soulful arrangement that has you floating on the river of sound. You are going to feel the urge to sway to the music or want to close your eyes and let the bluesy soulful goodness wash over you.

It is not only the music that brings an awesome bluesy feeling to your ears. Heitz’s vocals have a light gruffness to them that perfectly scratches at the back of your mind and catches your attention. There is a touch of Amy Winehouse to her voice but this is covered in her honest style. Her performance is powerful as it slides through your senses on lyrics that dip into the feeling of fading away. This loss of self turns into a call of strength as you rise like a phoenix from the ashes of loss of self. It is an amazingly empowering single that is just too catchy.

Stephanie Heitz fills your ears with a mix of blues, soul and RnB that is utter perfection while bolstering your sense of self-worth in ‘Fading Away’. The melody has you swaying to the rhythm while her vocals scratch an itch you never knew you had. Empowering yet vulnerable and packed with honest lyrics and vocals, the single leaves you smiling and feeling more comfortable with yourself.
