Welcome to Buzz, Erin! We love the energy and concept of your single, "Taurus." What inspired you to revisit and re-release this song?


Thank you so much! This song is special to me, as I feel it truly captures my voice. I love that I’m poking fun at myself a bit. It’s the first single from my upcoming sophomore album, so while we get ready for that, I thought it was perfect to revisit this song during the Taurus season.


Did you produce the re-release of "Taurus" solo, or was that a collaborative process? Could you expand on how you brought this vibrant track to life again?

All the songs for the next album, including “Taurus,” were produced by Topher Mohr. I’m grateful to be able to collaborate with him; he’s an amazing musician and producer. Our creative process is always very easy, fluid, and intuitive. We wanted “Taurus” to be upbeat with a strong rhythm to match the cheekiness of the lyrics, and I feel that the music really captures that vibe.


What was your songwriting process like for "Taurus?" What themes or concepts did you want to get across in your lyrics?


It’s always difficult for me to articulate my songwriting process because I really do have to let the song come to me. I remember exactly where I was on the freeway when the verse came to me, and I was struggling not to forget it before I could record it in my voice memos.


I wanted to talk about how feelings are hard and poke fun at myself for not being comfortable with emotions. I aimed to capture the humor in how we often get in our way, especially when dealing with relationships.


Would you say that "Taurus" is a continuation of the themes explored in "Sim Controllers?" Are there any similarities between these works?


I think you saw a glimpse of my sense of humor and self-deprecation in “Sim Controllers,” but "Taurus" takes it to a new level. It feels fresh, even though I talked about struggling with emotions on that album as well. This song brings a lighter, more self-aware perspective through the lyrics.


What do you hope listeners take away from "Taurus?" What was your goal in that respect?


I hope people can approach the song with a sense of humor. I love it when I play it live and someone giggles at the "call triple A on her own" line. I also hope they can relate to not wanting to have feelings for someone, maybe being in denial, but ultimately not being able to help it.
