Tracy Bonham Offers Sanctuary Through Song On New Single ‘Safe With Me’

Tracy Bonham released a new single, “Safe With Me.” The song is dedicated “to those disenfranchised due to race, creed, religion, or gender” with proceeds from the song benefiting The Trevor Project.

Bonham was inspired to write “Safe With Me” after learning about the Free Mom Hugs campaign.

“A very close friend of mine shared some videos of moms giving out hugs at PRIDE parades around the country, teaching me about the Free Mom Hugs campaign,” Bonham said. “I was especially moved by the emotional responses from the ‘huggees.’ It was a beautiful and sad moment watching how a simple hug, even from a stranger, could move a person to tears. It is clear to me, now more than ever, that our LGBTQ+ community needs to know there are people in the world that support and love them.”

Tracy recorded “Safe With Me” at Grand Street Recording along with her other recent singles “Damn the Sky (for Being Too Wide)” and “Whether You Fall.” The tracks contain contributions from Rene Hart (David Amram, James Hunter) on bass and Alvester Garnett (Regina Carter, Abbey Lincoln) on drums.

Bonham’s latest single, “Safe With Me,” carries a charitable component.

“I will donate proceeds from this song and related merchandise to The Trevor Project and will call attention to other campaigns and organizations that offer support to our LGBTQ+ community and beyond,” Bonham shared.
