On February 5th, 2021 I will be releasing my very first solo-produced single, “Light a Candle For Me”!
This song was written with my amazing fans in mind. The more people I interviewed on my weekly show, The Healing Half, the more messages from I received from my fans about how they were not only resonating with the stories shared, but also realizing how much loss they still have to work through.
And I can relate - there was a lot of loss in 2020. In March of 2020, I lost my amazing grandmother who helped fill that “mom” role ever since my mom passed away from cancer when I was 13.
So knowing my own pain and hearing about how my original grief song, See Me, encouraged people to heal through music, I wanted to write a song for my fans that can be played for special times of the year when grief is particularly strong: birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, etc.
Similar to the style of “See Me,” this song is written from the perspective of the loved one who has passed away. I chose this type of conversation because I believe the “me / you” language is the most impactful for healing and having it come from their loved one allows the message to resonate on a whole new level. “Hearing” from our loved ones in the form of song helps remind me that their spirit lives on, and for some, that makes all the difference.
However, the song strays from “See Me” in a few ways. For starters, Light a Candle For Me was written, sung, produced, and mixed / mastered entirely by me, whereas “See Me” was put together in a studio using both studio musicians and vocalists.
I wanted the vibe of Light a Candle For Me to be “angelic” and “comforting” in hopes that it brings healing to everyone who listens. Created and recorded from home, this song has over 12 different parts that allowed me to achieve the sound I was going for.
I can’t WAIT for you to hear it! You can “pre-save” this song by clicking HERE, and make sure you’re on my email list because I will be sending a special “Light a Candle For Me” gift to my fans the day of the release (along with the lyric video, youtube link, spotify link, and more)!
