So how has your latest single so far with fans then?
My latest release is my new single “Comedown”. I also released a music video for the song which you can check out on YouTube and Facebook. The song is available on all major music outlets online. I really enjoy this song and I feel it really has a sound if it’s own. It has catchy melodies, a nice rhythm that sets the pace for the song, and many people can relate to the context of the lyrics as well. I’m definitely proud of this one. So far I’ve had very positive feedback from listeners.
Tell us something about the release no one knows?
This is the first song that I wrote to a beat. It was definitely different for me, but also felt right. This song really helped me to cement the direction I wanted to continue to go with my music.
If you could work with any band on a new song, who would it be and why?
Probably Twenty One Pilots. I really like their sound. I feel our brands would collaborate very well. They’ve also influenced my sound quite a bit so it would be really cool to see what the end result would be.
How has your latest single been received?
So far my single “Comedown” has had very positive reviews. Many people tell me the chorus gets stuck in their head to the point that it’s annoying. I think that’s a good thing for sure.
Can you tell us about the meaning behind the track?
The song “Comedown” is about the difficulty of getting out of a toxic relationship. You want to get away but can’t help but hold on to the temptation of the past.
What tours do you have coming up, and what can you tell us about them?
I am currently focused on writing, recording, and collaborating with other artists. I’m also working on releasing multiple music videos this year along with a brand new EP titled “Foundations”. Once all this is released I plan on going all out and performing as much as possible to promote this new EP.
What venue are you most looking forward to playing the most, and why?
Russell – The Masquerade in Atlanta for sure. Such a great venue and great sound.
What else can we expect from in 2019?
Russell – I’m always writing and creating new content to put out for my fans. You can expect a new EP, more music videos, and new singles being released throughout the year. 2019 is going to be a very productive year for me.
