Friday, Oct. 30, was a gray, murky day perfectly suited for wrapping yourself in a blanket and doing nothing. On such occasions, I usually blast my “Rainy Day” playlist on Spotify, which features a number of songs by Brooklyn-based singer Vérité (née Kelsey Byrne). But instead of listening to the 30-year-old songstress, I had the chance to speak with her via video chat. Cozied up in a black-and-white mock-neck sweater with grommet details, she shared the same sentiment of giving in to listless weather-related behavior. “It’s been a struggle to get out of bed,” she said. “It’s f*cking awful.”
