“Soft Target is for the lost generations of women who weren’t diagnosed as neurodivergent because they just seemed A Lot. It’s for the ‘over-sensitive drama queens’ who attracted people that liked us a little crazy and vulnerable but had nothing to give us. I’m still awkward and difficult and scared of balloons. I lost a career and I’m full of chemicals. It’s not an excuse, but it’s an explanation – and I’m not alone. We’re not alone.” (Rosalie James)
Soft Target won the International Songwriting Competition (Unpublished Category) in 2023 and is a Finalist in the Unsigned Only Competition 2024.
