Canadian alternative rock artist Nix Ironstone delivers a sharp farewell to a fractured friendship with her latest single, “Sincerely, Me.” Combining biting sarcasm, dark humor, and emotional honesty, the track addresses the betrayal and disappointment that can accompany the end of a once-meaningful friendship.
Co-written with Chris Dimas and Taylor Perkins of JUNO-nominated rock band Bleeker, who also handled production, “Sincerely, Me” transforms personal frustration into a defiant rock anthem. Framed as a sympathy card addressed to a former friend, the song uses seemingly compassionate language to communicate an entirely different sentiment.
Inspired by Ironstone’s experience of feeling manipulated and unfairly blamed following a friendship breakdown, the release challenges the expectation that every relationship deserves reconciliation.
The accompanying music video, which premiered through Live in Limbo in September, brings the concept to life through dark, cinematic imagery and has surpassed 179,000 YouTube views.
Formerly performing as country artist Nicole Rayy, Ironstone has undergone a significant artistic transformation. Her previous career generated over five million streams, ten CMAOntario Award nominations, and a 2024 Music Video of the Year win.
Following earlier alternative rock releases “Dead To Me” and “Nervous,” the new single further establishes her evolving musical direction. Beyond recording, Ironstone founded HarmoniaFest and hosts the Harmonia Songwriter Series, supporting women and non-binary musicians. With her debut album under the Nix Ironstone name planned for 2027, “Sincerely, Me” signals a confident new chapter.
