Cailin Russo Releases New Single ‘Santa Fe’

Cailin Russo returns today with the release of a hazy new song called “Santa Fe.” Cailin penned the track, alongside friends Micah Jasper and Jesse Thomas, with Jasper also serving as producer.

Speaking about the new song, Cailin reveals, “Santa Fe is a metaphor for authentic romance. The whole song was about a boy I was chasing that gave me just enough to string me along, then would leave me questioning whether anything he said to me was real,” she explains. “‘Is this the first time that you’ve been to Santa Fe, is this the first time that you’ve ever felt this way? I would have loved you if you hadn’t slipped away.. was it original?’ I’m naively hopeful the whole time until the last chorus / tempo switch where the ego war kicks in and I confront both sides of my brain saying that ‘This man will always love me’ and ‘this man will never love me’ then tie it up with ‘bitterness is another heartbeat’ meaning these feelings are fleeting but very intense.”
