Behind the Music: The Journey to Softer Side
Music has a way of taking us on journeys we never expected. As I reflect on my latest single, “Softer Side,” I’m reminded of how much this journey has been about discovery—not just of new sounds and ideas, but of myself as an artist.
The Inspiration
Every song starts with a spark. For “Softer Side,” it was a blend of influences that came together in a way that felt both unexpected and exciting. I’d been writing regularly with Eric Gunderson from Love and Theft, and during one of our sessions, we stumbled upon Brazilian Sertanejo music. The rhythmic melodies and heartfelt storytelling of the genre resonated with us deeply. We started experimenting, blending those Brazilian roots with the soulful southern rock and country style I’ve always loved. The result? A song that feels fresh, authentic, and a little different from anything I’ve done before.
The Process
Creating “Softer Side” was a multi-layered experience. At first, it was just an idea we played around with in Eric’s studio. But as the song began to take shape, I knew it deserved something more. That’s when I brought my band into Castle Studios in Nashville to track the full version. There’s something magical about recording live with a band—it brings energy and life that you just can’t replicate in any other way.
We also worked with Grammy-winning producer Scott “Skidd” Mills, whose creative input elevated the track to a whole new level. And to tie everything together, we filmed a music video right in the studio, capturing the raw emotion and collaborative spirit of the recording process. Directed by Brazilian producer Olivio Netto, the video offers a behind-the-scenes look at how “Softer Side” came to life.
What It Means to Me
“Softer Side” isn’t just about the music; it’s about growth. It’s about learning to blend different influences, exploring new creative territories, and finding the universal truths that connect us all. At its core, the song is a reflection of the softer, more vulnerable side of life—the moments that remind us to slow down, connect, and feel.
What’s Next
The release of “Softer Side” is just the beginning. 2025 is going to be a full one for the band, from social media campaigns and collaborations with influencers to upcoming performances, this track is the start of an exciting new chapter. I can’t wait for you all to hear it and see where this journey takes us.
Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, music is about connection. It’s about finding that common thread that brings people together, whether it’s through a lyric that resonates or a melody that moves you. “Softer Side” is a piece of my heart, and I hope it finds its way into yours.
