Australian folk-pop artist, Calan Mai, premieres new single with Rolling Stone
Australian folk-pop artist Calan Mai has released the new single, “XO.” The song premiered with Rolling Stone Country, who named it one of the “Top 10 Best Country & Americana Songs Of The Week.” Of the inspiration behind the track, Calan Mai explains, “When someone writes ‘xo’, that doesn’t mean they want to kiss and hug you. When they send a smiley face, they aren’t really smiling. The world is a bit like that now-a sea of lovehearts, likes, upvotes and retweets. You ask for validation and get bright lights and numbers in return. And I’m no better. I doubt myself. I compare myself. I wonder how many times this song will get played. That’s what ‘XO’ is about-wanting to reach through your LCD screen and grab the world by the collar and say, ‘I do make the cut. I do have potential. And this song is a good f*cking song.”
