The latest single from LA-based indie artist\u00a0<strong>Pontea<\/strong>\u00a0has mental health and suicide prevention themes with lyrics about being there for one another whenever we\u2019re in our darkest hour.\u00a0<strong><em>Come Find Me<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is an emotional ballad, mixing a touching piano composition and Pontea\u2019s delicate, yet powerful vocals. The song expresses support for when we are in our most vulnerable state with lines like \u201cwhen the night keeps getting darker and it cuts to the bone, just know I\u2019ve got your back.\u201d Having come to terms with her own struggles in life, Pontea is a passionate advocate of self-worth and mental health awareness.<\/p>\n<p>Written by Pontea, Monte Malone, and Ryan Benyo, the track has the feel of a modern day \u201cWe Are The World\u201d and \u201cLean On Me\u201d that can have a powerful impact in touching lives, and inspires us to reach out for support when feelings of hopelessness and darkness flood our system.<\/p>\n<p>To drive the message home is the gripping music video that involves more than 20 people from different backgrounds singing and emoting to the camera while in quarantine. Pontea managed to gather palpable footage of intimate and bare shots from real people in their own space, taking us on a tangible journey of what it looks like behind closed doors when we\u2019re faced with our own demons\u2026the darkest lows, the rage, the hopelessness, the eventual peace, joy, and restoration. It\u2019s raw, unfiltered, vulnerable, and all too relatable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy vision is to join forces with mental health causes and people from around the world to take a stand for one another,\u201d she said. \u201cWe are here to let you know that you\u2019re not alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Having steadily grown her indie following into a community of loyal supporters, Pontea has evolved into an empowering figure in her own right. Her latest releases, \u201c<strong>Power<\/strong>\u201d and \u201c<strong>Bitches Having Babies<\/strong>,\u201d have been heralded as anthems, and both embody her cross-genre skill set.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to follow Pontea on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/iampontea\/\">Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iampontea\/\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0&amp;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iampontea\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0today.<\/p>\n<p>Watch &#8220;Come Find Me&#8221; on YouTube <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zdiVUd62hVQ\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>As the world grapples with an unthinkable pandemic, we all need each other more than ever.
