EMILY MYERS RELEASES EMPOWERING NEW SINGLE “AIN’T GONNA BE MINE”
“My latest single Ain’t Gonna Be Mine describes the moment after a breakup when you finally remember who you are again,” Emily explains. “You are past the point of feeling sad and you start to remember your own worth. To me, that moment is the most important part of the healing process. The lyrics of this song are empowering and help with moving on. The song refuses to let the person who broke your heart be the one that got away. They will not be your biggest regret in life, they will not be a mistake that you made in your past, and the best part is – it is your choice. This song is a little reminder that only you can decide who and what is going to have power over your life.”
LA DUO CONES SHARES NEW ALBUM ‘ALMANAC’ – LISTEN
“‘The Tunnel’ is about the longing to connect, and the fear of actually doing so,” explains Jonathan Rosen. “It’s about letting yourself grow towards someone or something, and knowing that in order to get to some light, you gotta first venture out into some darkness. The lyric ‘I know that there’s a light at the end of this tunnel and there’s a tunnel at the end of that light there’ illuminates the uncertainty and time-loop madness that we were all feeling at the start of the pandemic in our own unique ways. I was trying to get at the notion that life is an endless state of transition – we may seek that light at the end of the tunnel, and enjoy it when we get there, but must remember that there’s always another tunnel waiting. At the end of that dark, another light – it goes on and on… But we can find consistency in those changes by grounding them in our connections with others. Some songs take weeks of adjusting and fussing over, while others flip on like a lamp, fully formed. ‘The Tunnel’ was an easy one, something I simply needed to write.”
When Liv Slingerland lost her beloved father in March 2020, the in-demand guitarist (Halsey, Olivia Rodrigo, Lauren Ruth Ward, Donna Missal) knew what she needed to do immediately: wrap Hey You, the solo album she’d spent the past few years honing in on. It was the least she could do — a heartfelt homage to her biggest fan.
