Nashville Singer, Songwriter & Producer Phillip LaRue Releases Emotional New Single “Amen”
“Amen” was written about LaRue’s grandmother who suffers from dementia and examines the feeling of losing someone who is still amongst us. “It’s a strange disease, because it feels like a long slow goodbye. She’s still with us, but it doesn’t feel like it. Even though she doesn’t remember me anymore, she still has a childlike joy. She was an anchor for me growing up as my second mom in many ways. It was surreal when things started falling apart for her mentally. ‘Amen’ is a reflection of the impact she’s had on me and the surrender of letting go of what you can’t control, so you have faith a bigger picture is being painted,” reveals LaRue.

Canadian Alt-RnB Artist kerri Announces Cinematic HURTING EP
kerri had this to say about HURTING: “This EP is a powerful reminder to learn from the pain you’ve experienced, not dwell in it. It paints the picture of someone afraid of the world and angry at themselves who learns over the course of these songs to have faith. Although most of the songs are uplifting, the stunning closer is one last look back at the loneliest corner of someone’s mind before choosing a life of clarity. Each song on the project was made in intimate spaces, from a cafe in Toronto to my own bedroom, with people I trust.”

As the band have introduced the world to their debut full length offering Plus Ultra with singles such as ‘Full Round Table’, ‘Wayfinding’, ‘Wide Asleep’ and ‘Need You No More’, a snapshot of the band’s headspace has come into clearer and clearer focus. They’ve lit a match under corrupt politicians, toasted the power of freewheeling revelry, and lambasted social media’s ability to warp minds. They have however always stuck to a sound that goes for the jugular, ensuring that Plus Ultra has the strength to take its own advice: be brave, ask questions, and don’t fear the unknown.
