2nd Single: ATTACK!!!!

Ok the second single from my forthcoming album ‘Survive With Me’ is out today on all your streaming services (Spotify, Apple Music, etc). American Songwriter calls the album ‘Sinatra meets Lord of the Flies… a new sonic journey for the pioneering solo artist’ (THAT’S ME).

There is a subgenre in pop songs called ‘meet cute’ and for much of my twenties that was my wheelhouse. Singing to an imaginary girl across the room, trying to convince her that I was somehow worth her emotional investment. ‘You’re in Luck’ being the prototypical example. This song is basically ‘meet cute during a rapidly escalating climate crisis’ because 2020 refuses to let us have nice things. It was a blast to write and therapeutic to get out some generational frustration at the lack of climate action by people in charge who for the most part will be comfortably resting in their graves while the problems they set in motion force a reckoning. Thinking of the western US with a heavy heart as I type this and people who love each other, running from the smoke. What a world. Downer context notwithstanding, the music is cheery! John-Flor Sisante’s sax stabs are practically begging for a Tic Toc dance routine! The world is still redeemable if we all grab an oar! And love is still love.

Hope you like it.
