Trinity Woodhouse on her moving new single ‘Pills’

Trinity Woodhouse started singing at a very young age. As she tells me in our recent interview, she was playing every sport imaginable and singing while doing it – including while swimming which, as she says, takes some doing! When she was eight her parents suggested she have some vocal lessons, although she didn’t agree to them until she was eleven. She started performing at twelve, and took up guitar initially so she wouldn’t fidget on stage – but she fell in love with it. 

She attended her first Tamworth Country Music Festival at the age of thirteen and by the following year was attending the Junior Academy of Country Music. Seven years later she attended the Senior Academy. Her first single, ‘Bouquet’, was released in 2020. There have been three since, ‘Don’t You Know’ and ‘Colourblind’, and the latest, ‘Pills’.

‘Pills’ is an audacious song lyrically because Woodhouse is sharing her mental health story, and while authenticity is a hallmark of country music there are, of course, some subjects that are very hard to talk about – or sing about. The way Woodhouse’s vocal sounds in the song is also part of the story – and I asked her if this had something to do with the fact that she’s recorded with the producer, Josh Schuberth, several times now. (You’ll have to watch or listen to the interview to find out what she says.)

This is a story about the power of music in so many ways – both for Woodhouse and for the audience, in that we can receive these stories in song and take them into our own lives. No doubt ‘Pills’ will have a great impact on many people who hear it, and so will Woodhouse’s story.
