- Allow Crowded Parks to Serenade You Until the "End of the Night"
From jam sessions to full-length EPs and albums, the dreamy alternative group Crowded Parks takes listeners on a heartfelt venture with their recent single, "End of the Night." Forming in 2018, Crowded Parks began recording demos at a friend's house, which later bloomed into their debut EP 'Blossom.' Meeting and expanding their group members in 2020, Crowded Parks is excited to release their debut album, 'Can You Hear Me,' slated to drop on April 16th. Recently releasing their fresh and dreamy single, "End of the Night," Crowded Parks pour nothing but heart and genuine emotion through our speakers. Not to mention their slightly nostalgic synth-work and harmonious alternative instrumentation, it's no doubt that this single will make waves. Listening to "End of the Night," a soft keyboard melody opens the song while quickly dropping into an entirely ethereal alternative instrumental with mid-tempo drum patterns, rhythmic guitar melodies, and floating keyboard hums. While the lead vocalist begins describing early morning scenes of fading into the dawn with someone special, it would be an understatement to say that Crowded Parks has set quite the heartfelt and passionate tone to this track. We adore the emotion and desire of the lead vocalist's delivery, as he continues to paint detailed images throughout this soothing sweet escape of a single. Rolling our way to the outro, Crowded Parks leave us in a state of trance with each serene instrumental and harmonic synth arrangement. Float into the stratosphere with help from Crowded Parks and their latest tune, "End of the Night." Find the single on all digital streaming platforms. We genuinely adore the soft and easy vibe of your recent single, "End of the Night." What inspired your group to create such an ethereal and passionate single? Thank you so much! Ever since I met the other members, they have helped expand the sounds and styles that I use for our songs. When I initially wrote the lyrics, the instrumentation just kind of fell into place when trying to create an overall atmosphere for the track. Even though I primarily wrote the lyrics, I don’t think I would’ve had the thought of making a song like, “End of the Night” if I hadn’t met them. Could you remind us of the members within your group and how you handled the songwriting process for your single "End of the Night?" Shoutout to Logan, Brandon, and Zane. When I first brought the idea to them (initially it was just the chorus), they helped piece together the story of the song and have it flow more cohesively. We all took each other's ideas and built upon them to make a song that we’re all really proud of, which is something that is really important for a band. Getting together when someone has an idea and expanding on it so that you can make something that everyone is super proud of. What sort of feel and atmosphere did you initially have in mind for the instrumentals and sonics within "End of the Night?" A lot of my songwriting is subconscious. I’ve always liked writing and creating hypotheticals as an outlet. Once the lyrics all came together, the instruments fell in place and felt right for the context of the song. Heartbreak is an emotional thing, and I suppose the instrumentation sort of conveys a strong sense of passion and emotion that someone feels when they are in a relationship and it starts to go south. How will your forthcoming album 'Can You Hear Me' give listeners a better understanding of your band's sound and style? What should we anticipate from the project? At the route of it, the album is filled with songs that share a common lyrical theme of feeling as if you are unheard in your relationship, (hence the name, “Can You Hear Me?”). That’s a topic that I feel a lot of people can relate to, and I hope that I can potentially help people that are experiencing this sort of thing. What can we expect to see next from you? We’re always looking to push forward with our sound and not be stagnant. So after this album, we’ll be promoting it as much as we can, and trying to create a set of songs that we feel is even better than the album. It’s important to always be thinking ahead when it comes to any sort of art and to think of ways you can build on the ideas that you already have to get an even stronger piece of work.

- Sarah Mae Chilton Livens the Music Scene with a Playful Single, "Broke"
The North Carolina-born and Nashville-trained country/pop artist and singer-songwriter Sarah Mae Chilton pairs up with Lord Goldie for their recent collaboration, "Broke." With a positive and humorous approach to heartbreak, Sarah Mae Chilton adds a fresh sound and style to the pop/pop-country market. While making a living on Broadway at Tootsies Orchid Lounge, Sarah Mae Chilton brings the same energy in her live performances that is always conveyed through her releases. Now highlighting her recent single, "Broke," off of her debut album 'Southern Glitter Pop,' the singer-songwriter teams up with rapper Lord Goldie to express a highly relatable and playful theme. While the sonics and instrumentation offer this upbeat blend of country and modern pop, Sarah Mae Chilton drifts alongside the song's uplifting tones and drenches us in her warm vocals. Opening "Broke" are playful drum breaks, short guitar stokes, and a nostalgic synth that spices up the sonic foreground. Once Sarah Mae Chilton begins singing of being too 'broke' for someone's love, we can't help but feel that she's offering a contemplative double entendre through the song's central theme. About three-quarters the way in, Lord Goldie steals the spotlight and begins deepening the song's meaning through his exciting performance, rapping about themes of trust and being there for someone through thick and thin. Sarah Mae Chilton takes center stage at the outro and ends the song on an upbeat and exciting note. Catch Sarah Mae Chilton and Lord Goldie's single, "Broke," on all streaming platforms, and don't shy away from experiencing Chilton's debut album, 'Southern Glitter Pop.' Congratulations on the release of your debut album, 'Southern Glitter Pop.' Did you create this album with any themes or concepts in mind? Thank you! The theme of “Southern Glitter Pop” is exactly how it sounds. Each song has a catchy hook and upbeat energy. Some songs are more pop-country and some are straight pop. I told producer, John Willis, to channel Britney Spears on the first song that was recorded, “Whatcha Gonna Do.” “Lady President” is a goofy female pop-power anthem. “Wishing Well” and “Addicted” have country themes such as drinking whiskey and cheating. The word “Southern” in “Southern Glitter Pop” speaks to the fact that it’s a Nashville record. Also, I’m a born and raised Carolina girl and I naturally have a small southern accent in my music anyways. How does your single, "Broke," fit into the overall vibe and concept of your album 'Southern Glitter Pop'? Since “Southern Glitter Pop” is a pop record, a pop-rap collaboration was the perfect addition to the project. ‘Music City’ has all genres and it's been great to be able to shine a light on the presence of both pop music and hip hop in Nashville. What inspired you to add a rap verse to your song "Broke," with help from rapper Lord Goldie? What was your collaboration like? It was our third co-writer, Roxanna Whittington’s idea to add a rapper. I’d come to her with only the hook and after the first writing session she said, “oh we need a rapper.” She had mentioned meeting several rappers in town but I had recently met Lord Goldie at a ‘Pop-Up’ networking event. When I met Goldie I felt an immediate friendship. I reached out to her because my instincts told me she was a good person and a talented artist. My instincts were right. That second writing session I made spaghetti and we all sat and got to work. Roxanna and I were bouncing ideas back and forth about how “Broke,” could be written and I remember Goldie being really quiet. In my head, I was thinking, “c’mon whatcha got?” She starts writing on a sheet of paper and I’ll never forget hearing her start to recite lines that were deep, playful, and from the heart. Her honest lyrics are a rare gift that brought the song to a new level. I’m pretty sure the original verse she wrote one time on that sheet of paper is what we ended up recording. Would you say that your album 'Southern Glitter Pop' leans more towards pop, country, or rock? Or is the album a comprehensive blend of various genres? I’d say it’s a pop-country record that’s heavier on the pop side. This record tells the story of a strong, independent woman moving to Nashville to make a dream come true. It tells the story of embracing love, making mistakes, and accepting all of it as part of the journey. In the record, I’m not afraid to say I’m broken-hearted, or that I’ve struggled with an addictive relationship. I also celebrate being in love and believing in the future “Lady President.” I’ve been my own boss in the creation of “Southern Glitter Pop” and because of that, have had the freedom to choose how I’ve wanted to sound and what I’ve wanted to write about with the help of talented producers and writers. I like the glamour and sonic landscape of pop music but love country music’s historical celebration of truthful writing. Add the two together and you get “Southern Glitter Pop.” sarahmaemusic.com
