There was definitely a very specific connection dated back to a few years ago that manifested and inspired the creation of this song, some of those strong feelings I had suddenly came back towards the middle of all of 2020’s craziness seemingly out of nowhere after I forced myself to disregard them for quite a while and I started to write the lyrics immediately after that. Do you prefer to write your songs from a place personal to you, or while embodying a story that may have been sparked from an outside source? I prefer to write my songs from personal experience, but I can also write based on an outer source, whatever comes to mind at the time. What are you hoping your audience takes away from the messaging you have laced into “I’ll Never Let Us Die?" The message I wanted I’ll Never Let Us Die to convey is that if you know you feel something genuine and the timing never feels right, it doesn’t mean it’s always going to be wrong and even if it is and nothing ever comes of it, it’s better to care about something than not feel at all. How important is it for you to be vulnerable with the music that you create? It’s very important to me, I want to bear my entire soul to the world using my music because that’s the only way I’m going to be able to make anyone understand who I am. Instagram Facebook

Like many famous artists today, SOUTHSTYLEZ is a rising underground rapper from Toronto, Canada. Aiming to follow in the footsteps of those who have blossomed before him, the 6ix rapper has just dropped his second EP 'J’adore,' which was produced by his collaborator A.W.O.L. He is best known for his musical versatility as he incorporates aspects of R&B and old-school Hip-Hop into his music, making each track different from the last. With its romantic and uplifting wordplay, the lyrical energy of the EP 'J’adore' is comparable to that of fellow Canadian artist Justin Bieber’s new album “Justice.” Each of the five tracks from the project tells a different story that encourages self-love, trust in relationships, and unity. From one listen to the EP, the listener can sense the contentment and love that SOUTHSTYLEZ feels for himself, the important people in his life, and his fans. SOUTHSTYLEZ kicks off the EP with the uplifting track “Baby Stay Close,” in which he collaborated with vocalist Melo Gotti. The low-key backtrack of “Baby Stay Close” introduces a theme of old-school Hip-Hop to the EP, and the subtle soundscape spotlights SOUTHSTYLEZ verses. A soulful bass guitar melody is layered within the production, giving “Baby Stay Close” its R&B flavors. Melo Gotti brings each chorus a catchy melody as SOUTHSTYLEZ effortlessly transitions to his alluring rapping during each verse. Collaborating with artist J-nice, SOUTHSTYLEZ has cultured more of a sensual R&B vibe with the song “Fantasy.” With its relaxed and slow-paced beat and J-nice’s heavenly serenades, “Fantasy” will take the listener to a dreamland. When it comes to lyricism, “Fantasy” is set up as if SOUTHSTYLEZ and J-nice are singing to each other about trust and self-sacrifice, which creates a story for the listener to follow along with. With its soulful soundscape and lo-fi verses, “You’re a Vibe” trends toward the R&B side of things. SOUTHSTYLEZ works with artist Feli to bring euphoric harmonies and tender serenades to “You’re a Vibe.” The backtrack melody is made from an electronic keyboard that incorporates a variety of unique sounds into a catchy rhythm. With a voice like an angel, Feli makes this track stand out within the EP as a melody that fans will be singing along to for days. With each verse, SOUTHSTYLES truly proves himself as a skillful rapper by delivering the right amount of aggression for the right moments and pausing at the right times to emphasize certain lyrics. The album’s producer A.W.O.L is featured in both “Beautiful Mess Pt 2” and “J’adore.” For both tracks, A.W.O.L provides a few gentle verses along with a complex and thoughtful production. A piano melody owns the backtrack of “Beautiful Mess Pt 2” before it is layered between a subtle trap beat and echoing background vocals. The sensual beat along with each powerful verse by SOUTHSTYLEZ makes “Beautiful Mess Pt 2” an alluring combination of R&B and Hip-Hop.“J’adore” boasts a similar intricacy with its production as A.W.O.L continues to showcase his talent for arrangement. The final track of the EP 'J’adore' is a chance for SOUTHSTYLEZ to display his vocal ability as he seamlessly transitions between an R&B chorus and Hip-Hop verses. Named after the EP itself, “J’adore” is the ideal conclusion to an EP that encourages unity, uplifting others, and loving yourself. As your second EP released, can you tell us how 'J’adore' compares to your first EP 'Music in My Mind?' How has your music style evolved over time? You can hear the different sounds in 'J'adore.' On my EP 'Music On My Mind,' I was more focused on the West Coast vibe particularly, and now with my second Ep 'J’adore,' I am more focused on my melodic sound and r&b vibes, because I wanted to connect more with my female audience. I also improved in my lyrics and my metaphors. We were entranced by the uplifting messages behind each song of “J’adore.” If there is the main message that you are trying to relay to your fans with the release of this EP, what would that be? Unconditional love. Pure love. I know there is a lot of fellas out there who have a hard time to express there feeling to their precious lady and J'adore will help express that feeling for them.

It’s to show and express the love you have for your lady let her know that there is no competition when it comes to her. I put a lot of my own feeling in this tape, for example like why you want her to stay close, like why the love feels like a fantasy and etc. Also, my engineer makes everything so easy to work with him A.w.o.l.productions Are there specific artists or genres that have inspired your music style throughout your underground rapping journey? Yes there is I listen to Tupac For that poetic knowledge to send a message across so it could reach everyone I listen to Biggie Smalls so I could get that knowledge about the street so to know how the street works And when it comes to my bars I had to go with Cassidy because to me this guy was just the bars genius he was just lyrically Incline with his words you know I’m saying And of course, I can’t forget my r&b singers like KC and JoJo, babyface boys to men, all for one, genuine, Usher Tyrese, Joe and the list goes on and there’s a lot more like Mary J Blige, Whitney Houston What’s next for you?

Stefany Bryan was classically trained in piano for 12 years, but it wasn't until recently that her singer-songwriter role has manifested into something outside her piano at home. She is an LA transplant, originally from the rainy city of Seattle. Much of her artistic and creative inspiration is drawn from life struggles. Her songs tell the truth about the raw emotions of feeling sad, lonely, and heartbroken through simple melodies and honest lyrics. Within the vivid soundscape of her most recent release “I Always Wanted More,” Stefany Bryan reveals a vulnerable spectrum of emotions that effortlessly pour from her vessel as a therapeutic release. In hopes that her fan base can relate to her in a way that connects them through soundwaves, the prominent piano chords performed make way for a statement that is best served with heartrending tenors. The vocal performance of Stefany Bryan showcases her songwriting techniques that adapt to the use of spatial proportions in an impactful manner. You can hear the passion inserted in each word overflowing as the place it comes from reigns in authenticity. The repetition that is instilled into the instrumentation allows for the growth of this song to be predictable in a way that flourishes listeners in a sense of comfort. With Stefany Bryan’s easing timbres sweeping you into a warm blanket of tenderness, we digest the heartbreak she brings life to in the lyrical motifs offered. Fortifying “I Always Wanted More,” with words such as ‘the time we spent together, I was floating on Cloud nine,’ leaves us interpreting the melancholy portrayed firsthand. Known for the way she makes her listeners feel emotions that you didn’t know were present, Stefany Bryan excels in her latest single. Congratulations on the release of “I Always Wanted More.” You delve into such a delicate subject that many can relate to. Was there a specific moment or story that inspired the creation of this song? There is a specific story, but I think in general it's just about that one unicorn in your life who you will always put on a pedestal, but for whatever reason, timing, or whatnot, it would have never and will never work out with them. However, while still knowing this, you want something more from this person and you know you will never receive it. It's that idea of maybe in another life things could have worked out, but in this one, they can't. Was there anyone you worked with to help you achieve the desired sound of this song? What was the experience like? Well, I write and compose all my songs. My engineer, @Savlimusic, records for me, and helps me put everything together. The experience is pretty much the same with all my songs. I record in his studio and we work together on edits. How does the release of this song compare to the release of your album? Were there similarities or differences in the process at all? I'd say the release of this song and my album are very similar because they both stem from my experiences and feelings. Honestly, this song in particular really hit home with me, and I might say that I felt even more emotional when I wrote it than with any of my songs on the album. Something about time and the way it makes my feelings more real because the longer I experience and put effort into something, the more of a toll it takes on me mentally when I'm writing about it. I know that's being kind of ambiguous, but I guess to put it in more relatable terms: the longer time you spend with someone, relationship or not, the harder it is to let go of them. Throughout your artistic career to date, what has been your proudest moment on this journey? My proudest moment is probably just taking the leap and deciding to make my own music. I've had failed attempts in the past, but this time I just went all-in, and I want to continue to go all-in because nothing is holding me back. To me, that's fearless and bold and something to be proud of. Instagram Facebook

Los Angeles-based solo artist alexdrake. ignites his indie/alternative/emo rock sound with roots and influences that tie back to his New Jersey emo pop-punk start. Carrying a modern style that plays upon the reminiscent rock sounds of the 2000s, and perfectly fusing that together with classic rock attributes, he continues to garner attention as a refreshing take on timeless trademarks. Portraying a larger-than-life sound that is immediately radiated from the tumultuous percussion in his latest single “Let It Go,” alexdrake. sends a surge of amplified charisma through the soundwaves of his audience. Exemplifying his boisterous persona with a seamless concoction of palatable melodies, the reverberated vocals infiltrate your mind as the lyrical showcase plays into the sweeter side of his heartfelt tenors. Indulging yourself in the triumphant navigation that the verses tour in order to build up the anticipation driving home the chorus, you’re lost in the texture that reigns supreme in each musical element nuzzled within “Let It Go.” Each word that alexdrake. conveys has a fervent juxtaposition in regards to the musicality as a whole. No stranger to layering his comforting croons, the harmonics that seep through this piece are extremely tasteful and enhance the vocals in a way that has the performance sitting perfectly centered in the mix. Reminiscing on the days where he was with someone he now has to let go of, the nostalgic essence coincides with the wistful opulence the chugging guitar riffs, and the cadenced bass line hone in on. “Let It Go” taps into that high voltage effervescence that we love about alexdrake. and his imaginative abilities. Bringing more life to the pop-punk angst we know and hold onto, you can always count on alexdrake. to deliver. "Let It Go,” has us turning the volume all the way up on this track, congratulations on the release. Could you please take us into the inspiration behind this single? This track is really as simple as it gets. I wanted to write something in the middle of both indie and alt-pop from an instrumentation perspective. The entire song is written around a high harmonic tap on the guitar just looped over and over again with a very straightforward rhythm section; punching drums and driving bass. From a lyrical perspective, the song is fully inspired by 2020 and the lockdown we all endured/are still enduring. It's a message to friends of mine who did not take this time for self-growth and self-reflection but indulged in the latter. Self-sacrificing, stagnant behavior really saddened me. I believe everyone on the planet should always aspire for change and growth to evolve. In a previous interview, you mentioned that ‘Peace of Mind,’ was tracked in your home studio with Cam Nadler behind the mixing. Was “Let It Go” also handled this way when bringing it to life? "Let It Go" was written and tracked in the same exact way - except Nick (who is featured) took part in some of the home studio writing sessions and really had a producer presence throughout the development process. What did you find the most challenging part of the process when releasing it to the ears of the public? Would you do anything differently next time? I will be really honest, no challenges here. I am pretty used to the remote collaboration process. It's all a severe learning process for me. My sound will only better and evolve and shift along with me as I grow musically and emotionally. What has been the highlight of your artistic career this far? Since your previous release have you learned any important lessons that you’re using today? The highlight for me has been to just simply be able to release music that is my own. I look at this series of releases too late to be combined into an EP) as a chapter in my musical life and to only progress and continue on from here. Obviously working with such awesome people who I have looked up to for some time is fantastic. I don't compare myself to others, I don't care if people don't like to appreciate my artform. Nothing bothers me, this is all just passion and happiness projects for me. What can fans anticipate to hear next from you? I'll be releasing one more single likely in the upcoming weeks to conclude this chapter/EP. After that, they can expect me to dive back into an entirely new project (potentially a full band) and continue on developing my sound with new solo and band releases. Instagram Facebook

Leading up to the project, Elyse returns with its lead single and her sophomore release, "running out." Expanding on the single itself, Elyse offers an intensely similar performance style and charm to her inspiration Ariana Grande, as Elyse's harmonious vocals and powerful melisma serve all the vocal pleasure we can find in modern-day pop. Getting to the goods, the single "running out" opens with Elyse's bright and calming vocal portrayal, singing of her fluctuating emotions within a troubled relationship while navigating her way through the hardships. As the sonics begin to swell with plucky synth arrangements and a surreal string section, we're later met with a crisp drum breakdown and Elyse's powerful message. While she reminds listeners to refrain from overcomplicating a relationship through unnecessary trials and tribulations, Elyse continues to touch on how she's running out of reasons to stay. Throughout the entirety of this single, we're more than impressed with Elyse's sugary vocals and powerful emotion, not to mention her impeccable vocal layering; the track truly offers all the depth and passion that we crave during these lonesome times. Join Elyse on her journey to clarity with help from her relatable and savory pop single, "running out," and keep your eyes and ears peeled for Elyse's forthcoming 5-track EP later this year. Hello Elyse, welcome to BuzzMusic, and congratulations on the release of your sophomore single, "running out." When did you begin creating this track, and what inspired you to do so? Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! I started working on this track with producer Modslee during the summer of 2020 after having a conversation with a friend who felt that their relationship was completely one-sided. They felt as if their partner already had one foot out the door and were leaning towards giving up. That’s how this song came about! We genuinely feel a solid connection with your relatable lyricism in "running out." What did you want your audience to feel and take away from this single? I wanted the audience to really feel that tension when you love someone so much but you can’t tell if that person is the right fit for you or if that relationship is really worth it. It’s supposed to be a song about someone who’s struggling internally and I wanted the audience to feel that conflict. Why did you want to release your single, "running out," before your forthcoming EP? How does the single prepare us for the entire project? “running out” is the first single of five I’m going to be releasing over the next couple of months; we started with this one because we felt that it was such a strong option. We loved the chill yet upbeat vibe the song has and felt like it’d be a great option to start with. All the songs on the project are so different and all based on real experiences. Seeing as you're currently studying at Berklee, what do you hope to take away from your program and apply to your budding solo career? I’m really hoping that I can finish my degree and release my music in the coming months. I’m hoping that this is something I can do as a career for the rest of my life because I’m so passionate about it and I hope that shines through in the music. I’m just going to keep putting out music and see where it takes me! Instagram Twitter

Don't miss out on the emotional and genuine experience of Natalie Claro's recent single, "Snow," and find the personal single on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic Natalie. We're incredibly impressed with the genuine and personal emotions you've placed into your recent single, "Snow." What inspired you to create a song surrounding your empathetic ways? It’s funny because this song isn’t much about empathy at all despite really sounding like it is- but rather past feelings of obligation to ‘people please’ so those I cared about would like me, even if I was hyper-extending myself. It took me years to find out who I truly was instead of trying to adhere to whoever was around me, and a few more years to allow my friendships to happen naturally. Sometimes I’d do everything I could to be the perfect friend to the point where I’d crumble and isolate myself, but I’ve grown so much since my teenage years and have the healthiest relationships I’ve ever experienced. It’s a cycle I never realized was so relatable, because we’re all guilty of being toxic to ourselves in ways we don’t realize. I always felt like there wasn’t much instruction on how to live life- we just kind of get thrown out into this world like someone being tossed out into a blizzard without a jacket. Instead of being afraid of mistakes, we can just embrace them and make a snow angel. Did you face any personal challenges when writing your vulnerable lyricism for "Snow?" What was your solo songwriting process like? I wrote all the lyrics to this song after a Ray LaMontagne concert that a close friend brought me to. (hi Jacob). I felt so inspired that I just spammed thoughts into my notepad app throughout the show until my phone battery died. When I got back to my Airbnb I had so much trouble reforming them into lines and working a melody out of them that I contemplated giving up multiple times. A few days following that, I tracked a bunch of midi piano in Logic and forgot to save my progress... the program crashed after hours of work and I’m honestly surprised I even bothered to finish this song at all. I really wanted melodic keys that had transitions between chords, and while stressful, it was really worth the mental fatigue. Seeing that you create and produce all of your instrumentals/sonics, what did you want your audience to feel and experience when listening to the sonics of your single, "Snow?" I wanted this song to have as many intricate layers as I could think of all while feeling theatrical, beginning as soft and flowing and erupting into huge instrumentals. The drums were especially difficult as I’ve been out of practice since moving into an apartment, but I did my best to incorporate some syncopation once I could knock out studio time. The violins were entirely cheated- I hadn’t picked mine up since middle school orchestra and needed a way for them to sound professional without using electronic instruments. I decided to slow down the song by 50% and play along at that speed before returning everything to the normal tempo, and then manually pitch-corrected each individual note. The end result was something I was very happy with- a song that romanticizes fault and growth. How did you write your lyricism for "Snow" to not only tell your story but to allow listeners to relate and find a piece of themselves along the journey? I love this question!! I incorporate a lot of metaphors in my music and I’d like to believe it’s because when growing up, my father always used analogies and idioms while guiding me with my choices. To this day I sometimes have absolutely no clue what he’s telling me- but once it clicks, the representation of his point sticks with me. So now this is how I convey my ideas, it’s a broadway of sharing so that people can apply it to their own circumstances. I write a lot about internal feelings because it defies so many barriers. No matter what race, religion, gender, class, or any other community you come from, the same thing we all have our emotions. What's next for you? I’m working on my next single which will have a video alongside it as well! In the meantime... Snow may or may not have a remix coming out soon. (It’s called Snow - Reprise.) Stay tuned! Thank you BuzzMusic LA! Instagram Facebook

Bearing it all, Jordan O wraps both grief and joy into one package. The ambiance that you create in “Fade Away,” is truly remarkable. What was the experience of creating this single like for you? I wrote this song at the start of 2020 with a friend of mine from uni, just a couple of days after the passing of Kobe Bryant. Both of us were feeling quite heavy emotionally while we were trying to process his death and still write music at the same time, so we decided to pour some of that emotional weight we were carrying into the song. We wanted the ambiance and sound to match the topic/theme we were delving into, so I made sure when producing the song to make the ambiance a centralized feature of the music. Overall, it was fun writing and producing the song too as it allowed me to feel free. You dip into various vocal techniques in “Fade Away.” Do you have a preference when it comes to singing verses rapping? Does the creative process change for you when writing lyrics to each part? It’s interesting cause overall I prefer rapping to singing because it allows me to be rawer and more honest which comes through in my writing process. I focus more on what I’m trying to say in a way that is honest and true to myself while being artistic with the flow and rhyme scheme. But with singing, I enjoy being able to just experiment with different melodies even with the way I sing words or phrases. I place more focus on how this sounds melodically and sonically when I listen back. Throughout your artistic career, what has been the highlight for you this far? So far, the highlight for me has been putting on my own show/performance in my final year of uni because it was the catalyst for me wanting to put all my energy and investment into writing and performing as a full-time career. It also showed me that I can connect with a crowd who have never heard of my songs and have them invested from start to finish. Do you find that the music you create directly reflects your morals as an individual? What are you hoping to achieve long-term with the message you send out? Overall, the music I write comes from a very honest place, I don’t believe in writing something that doesn’t reflect my character or morals. I want to create a space for people to feel heard and to have conversations, whether it be serious or fun I hope my music can help spark conversation. What is your mission statement as an artist? My mission statement: “Make music with meaning.” Instagram Facebook

During the heartfelt bridge, Isabella Chiarini showcases her breathtaking vocal range as she belts each passion-infused lyric. Fans of Isabella Chiarini will find themselves singing along to the catchy melodies of each chorus before they finish their first listen of “Another Love Song.” Hello Isabella, and welcome to BuzzMusic. We were entranced by your witty lyrics, which made “Another Love Song” truly stand out among other love songs. What is the main message you are trying to spread to fans with your songwriting? The main message in everything I do in life is positivity. When I song write I always think about how the listener would feel hearing my songs. For this song, in particular, the goal is to help people empower themselves and realize they are okay on their own, such as in the song “ I’ll never sing out your name, give you the pleasure of knowing my pain”. The production of “Another Love Song” was subtle enough to spotlight your vocals, yet energetic enough to make the listener want to dance! Can you tell us about the production and recording process for “Another Love Song?” I started writing this song about 2 years ago. I wrote it in Nashville, Tennessee with Britton Cameron. I wrote this song very fast, I wrote and recorded the demo in a 4 hours session. Britton and I had been writing together for about 1 and a half at the time so we were comfortable with each other and were able to bounce ideas off each other easily. After he sent me the demo I instantly thought that I needed to release it! We then sent it to another producer named Femke and she added the finishing touches. I loved everything Britton and Femke did and started planning the release. As such a young independent artist, what was the path that led you to decide to release your own music? I have always loved music. At the age of 8, I started taking lessons at Studio E, then at 9 years old, I started with studio owner Teresa Nocita. She introduced me to the world of music and I truly believe I would not be the singer I am today without her. A development company from Nashville called PCG Universal came to Studio E to audition new musicians for their program. I ended up auditioning and getting into the program. From the age of 14-16, I would fly down to Nashville once a month to train with their team. During this time is when I decided I wanted to release my own music. They ignited a fire in me and made me realize this was a passion and not just a hobby. I released my debut single “Look into the mirror” at the age of 14 and have been releasing music ever since. Are there any specific artists or genres that have inspired your music style? I try to experiment with my music as much as possible because I always people to hear something slightly new every time I release it. Some artists that have influenced me are Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga, Madonna, and Queen. I feel like all of these artists have done a good job at staying true to themselves and their message while experimenting, with their sound throughout the years. Which is something I strive to do throughout my entire career. What would you like new listeners to know about your music? I feel like I speak to a generation of young adults, and children to tell them it is okay to be different and be who you are. Society puts a lot of fo pressure on us through social media to be perfect but what they don’t convey is that our imperfections are what makes us beautiful and we have to learn to accept and love ourselves the way we were made.

By the time the seamless percussion weaves its way into this piece you are flounced into the abstract lyrical motifs such as ‘all of the lights were growing dim, heroes died and came back again.’ The harmonics in the recording are truly remarkable. We bask in every note that is shed in Noah Peterson’s vocal performance as it gently aligns with how the instrumentation is portrayed. Written from a place of sentimental reflection, the earnest words intricately placed in this soundscape shape the motives of the soul-infused Noah Peterson. Hello Noah Peterson, welcome to BuzzMusic, and congratulations on the release of “New York Ave.” We love the way the song builds into a truly triumphant moment! What inspired you to structure the song this way? Thank you! I wanted to start the song slowly to paint a picture in the listener’s mind, then gradually increase the music’s intensity with the vividness of the lyrics. Once I was certain the listener had thought they knew what direction the song was headed in, I wanted to hit them with a crazy solo right out of nowhere. By the end of the song, I wanted my vocals to feel very empty and alone so that the message or story (pick one) can be heard. Thank you for your service in the Marine Corps. Do you find various sources of inspiration come to you through this venture of your life? Yes, I do, since enlisting in the Marines I’ve had to cope with being alone for the first time in my life. A lot of the things I write deal with growth and expressing myself, and writing my lyrics and thoughts down actually gets me through the tough times. In your own words, what does this song mean to you as an artist and individual? What are you hoping your audience takes away from it? This song is probably my most personal song yet, and I’m really proud of it. I worked on the lyrics for about a year and a half before I finally got the whole thing to tell a complete story filled with metaphors and elaborate descriptions of how I felt at the time I started writing it. I hope that the listener can appreciate and enjoy the build-up of the words and the music, and in a way, identify with this song, and picture themselves walking on New York Avenue. What happened to be your favorite part during the release of this song? What have you taken from it? Besides actually finishing the song, my favorite part has to be creating the cover art. I spent a lot of time drawing, coloring with charcoal, and editing, and the result was something super awesome. What would you like new listeners to know about you and your music? I would LOVE for the listeners to know that I appreciate their support, and while I’m currently occupied with the Marines, it won’t stop me from putting out new bangers as much as I can. Once I’m done with serving, I plan on pursuing music full time, so bear with me. Instagram Twitter

We love the soundscape that you bring to life in “Ireland Song.” Could you please take us into what inspired you to turn this experience into a song? Hey, wow thank you so much! I’m originally from the States, and I moved over to Wicklow a year and a half ago to live with my Irish family. My mother is from Dublin but moved down to Wicklow. I moved here in the middle of winter, January 2020. Florida is very different from the South of Wicklow. It’s hilarious as well because I got here and was so excited to explore Ireland and then the lockdown hit three months into me being here. So the sound of the song comes from a lot of solitude and kind of a mythological idea of my new home colliding with reality. The environment was so cold and grey during that time, it made its way into the sound of the song. I wanted it to sound like what it feels like to sit next to a fireplace with a warm blanket, and I feel like the song wraps the listener in a blanket of love. Also, my family and a few friends who were here were so good to me when I first arrived, that carried over. Moving to Ireland was a time of reflection and healing for me. I had just graduated college in the states, gotten out of a relationship, and had some serious mental health stuff I was dealing with. It was a time of change for me, lots of long walks, you know. I was looking for a way to kind of honor that, and that’s how this song was born. Also, I’ve been here a few times as a kid and have very warm, lovely memories of Ireland, but this was a different warmth than before. Every day I was creating a new relationship with this place, and some days would be better and some worse. I tried to put that in that kind of emotional warmth in the song with the birds, the warm vocals, and the multi-track guitar. I think it fits! What went into the creative and recording process? How long did it take you to bring this vision to the table in its entirety? It took about a year and a half. I started writing it in the first few months when I got to Ireland. It’s a combination of two songs I was working on at the time, that fit together perfectly. There’s a rough demo on Bandcamp that I recorded for a friend’s fundraiser project, and that’s when I knew I had to strip the song down and re-record it. The song just had so much more life, and I could hear it. So we re-recorded it to give it the sound it deserved, and that’s the one we’re releasing on the 30th. I’m really happy with how version 2.0 turned out. I worked and recorded at a friend's house in Arklow, Tristan Howurd. He’s a great musician and collaborator. We spent a full day recording the single in my shed. I had suited it all up for recording and after hours of setting up and playing that first day, Tristan sent me a message that night saying, “bad news.” Turns out the highway near my house had pretty much ruined all takes we had because when you compressed the audio all you could hear was cars. We had to rerecord pretty much every take from that day. That was hilarious and soul-crushing at the same time. It was a big learning experience for me. So I just use the space now for writing and recording demos! This is my first official song, so sometimes you have to learn the hard way. But then rerecording it all with him was a chance to learn so much, and get it right. It was kind of a dream come true for me. Also, the final piece of the puzzle came months later, in my saga of finding someone to mix it the way I liked it. I got a referral from a mutual musician friend in Florida to the incredible Jordan Stoffel at Stoffel Recording Co. in Nashville, Tennessee. We sent drafts and notes back and forth for a few days and finally, it was done. The whole process of writing and having the finished mix took about a year and a half, it’s been a journey. Do you find that being in Ireland is shaping the sound you’ll be exuding in your music moving forward? Have you noticed changes in your creative process? That’s a great question. I have changed my writing process over the past two years. I’m pretty new to being an official “songwriter.” I’ve written music for years, but only become methodical about it recently. It’s a lot less pressure now somehow, I think I can be more patient because I’m becoming more methodical. It's less personal if I write or not because it's a process instead of sporadic manic bursts. I used to just bounce between notes on my phone, scraps of paper, and voice notes. Well, I still do that some, but I’m learning what works for me, which is usually sitting down with an idea, giving myself time to play with my guitar, and enjoy that. After working on an idea for a bit, walk away, then when I come back it usually hits harder. The ideas usually come the easiest like that. I used to put loads of pressure on myself, and I’ve found this works much better. Being in Ireland has affected my sound, and who I am as an artist. Being in Ireland has allowed me time to debunk mythical Ireland from my mind, seeing how it is in real life. It’s helped me be more realistic with my outlook of myself as well. For me, writing this single was very insular, except working with Tristan in the recording studio. I’ve socially withdrawn with lockdown, so for me, I had a lot of time to get to know myself. Also, a lot of these influences for this song came from music I listened to as a kid and in lockdown. This song has a lot of influence from Jim Croce and Lizzy McAlpine, which is a wild combination, but that’s what I’d say it is. There’s a huge world of different genres coming on my EP as well. I was nervous about how that would be received for a while, but now I see it as being excited to show my diversity. I’m excited to see how more exposure to the Irish music scene shifts my projects in the future. But I think my sound is still forming honestly. What is the main message that you hope to send to your audience through your music? I wanted to release this as my first single because it's near and dear to my heart. Ireland Song is like a diary entry. It’s also more than just a lockdown story, it’s a story about the power of a beautiful place healing someone who needed it, and that person also healing themselves. Ireland is a really beautiful and special place to me, and a lot of people. I tried to pay tribute to that. I also wanted this to be my first single because I feel like this is the closest to what I feel is my own sound, out of all the songs I’ve written in the past few years. I wanted to release it first so I could take some variations off of it with my next few projects or maybe explore it further. In coming here I took a risk and I’ve gone through a big change, in a lot of good ways. I think a lot of people are coming out of lockdown feeling a change as well. This song is for people waiting for themselves to “move out of [their own] way,” which I think is all of us. I want to share that feeling with people. I went through a dark time, and I want to share something that brings a bit of light. Growing wiser, loving yourself. All that good stuff people don’t usually write music about. Lastly, if I had to say something super directly it’s that I hope I can inspire people a little bit to be patient with themselves, and that something better than we imagine can sometimes be around the corner. This song is like that; it was something I never saw coming, and now it's so much better than I imagined. You can take two steps forward while taking one back. It feels so good to say that, well, type that, so thank you for these great questions! Also, I want people to know there’s a 5 song EP coming out soon! I think this project has a lot to give people. Thanks so much for taking the time to talk to me! Instagram Facebook
