Wallis Bird shares new song ‘The Power of a Word’
Wallis spoke about the song saying: “The Power of a Word was written around about the time that Trump got voted out, thankfully, because he had the best words. I hate even talking about the man but it was a really big turning point, it was a great release in the world. The song highlights the power that words can have, that they can be useful and dangerous.
The Power of a Word was written in about three hours, it was one of those moments when it just happens…it clicks. I had swapped my studio with my friend Kevin Ryan’s studio and before I even took my jacket off before I sat down at the table to write, I’d already written the first two verses of that song and the chorus.”

Grant Gilbert Drops Breakup Anthem “She Goes Home (Dirty Breakup Song)”
“When we wrote ‘She Goes Home’ last March, all the writers and my team knew it was a pretty awesome song. But, it wasn’t until we posted a video playing the song acoustically online that fans blew it up instantly asking for it to be released immediately. From there, we gathered a producer we knew would crush the direction of the song with Johnathan Singleton, and went into the studio to cut it as soon as we could,” Gilbert shares. “Fast forward to now, I couldn’t be more proud and excited of how the song came out. My hope is for as many people as possible going through a breakup to realize they aren’t alone in how they feel during a relationship split.”
