I think the best thing about being a songwriter is that so much freedom comes with it. It’s liberating. There are no boundaries. The topics are endless and I can go in whatever direction I feel…
It’s been over a year since I put out any new music. (Thank ya’ll for your patience, and still rocking my music in the meantime 🙂 lol) In the past couple of years, I’ve written enough songs to make 5 albums; but there was no need to keep dropping a project every 6 months. My focus has been on perfecting my live show, growing as a vocalist, expanding my network, and pushing myself as a writer. I’ve learned the importance of editing, going back to re-write what I thought was final lol, adding other elements to make a song come to life, and getting honest feedback from others, all BEFORE showcasing it to the world. I’m learning everyday and thankful for my awesome team & the beautiful people God has placed around me.
It is now time to give my people new music. Great music. *Remember, I pinky swore on my last project to always strive for greatness* 🙂 This song isn’t a ballad, nor is it a dance track. But what I love about this record is that it’s a good mixture of both + vulnerable lyrical content. It’s a laid back kinda groove 🙂 …but with a story. The lyrics paint a picture for you. It’s an honest piece… It’s funny; I’ve realized how much the “true story” songs end up being so much easier to write. I remember writing the majority of this piece back in 2012, and just how easy the lyrics seemed to fall on the page. I’m sure many of you will be able to relate to this story in some way or another…either you went through it, put somebody else through it lol, or know someone who experienced it. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did creating it. 🙂
We will be releasing my new song, “Why You Come For Me?” on Tuesday, November 25th, 2014. It will be available for purchase everywhere digital music is distributed. I would love ya’ll support and as ALWAYS, your down right honest opinion of the song. Until then please repost, share, spread the word, and get a sneak peak of the visuals & lyrics below. Thanks so much! #WYCFM
Get ready!!
