Reality Began to Dawn Upon Her by Nan E. Henrie

Listen to the preview!

“Reality Began to Dawn Upon Her” is the debut single from singer-songwriter Nan E. Henrie. This evocative track explores the theme of appearance, how things, and even people, are not always what they seem. It reflects on the experience of being caught on the horns of a dilemma, capturing the quiet ache of awakening, the moment when illusion gives way to truth.

The song introduces listeners to Henrie’s signature sound: raw yet refined, poetic yet direct. Blending elements of pop, jazz, R&B, soul, and even glam rock, her unique voice and style convey emotions that draw listeners into distinct sonic worlds.

As both composer and lyricist, Henrie crafts emotionally charged songs that feel deeply lived in, cinematic, introspective, and unflinchingly honest. She places great importance on lyrics, and though she is an emerging artist, she has been making music for a long time, having grown up in a musical and artistic family.

She dedicated herself to creating this song by carefully shaping its concept, assembling musical elements and lyrics into a cohesive and sensuous piece.

A sext, a fantasy…
