BlackBook has shared Kingsbury's latest single "Blurry Now". When talking about the track Kingsbury says, "Blurry Now is a rumination on a toxic relationship I had. I gave up my power in so many situations and let it effect me for a year. I wasn't strong enough to realize what was happening. I didn't trust myself and how I felt about the situation for so long. I would continually question my feelings and make myself feel crazy. "But you could be so nice. I gave you what you wanted" + "all I know is how I feel but I can be so deceiving." I feel like the last two songs I've released have been all about moving on but this song is the antitheses to those. I wrote this song directly after I wrote my last single All Gone. I was in a really weird up and down period of my life and these two singles represent that."
Prior to this single, Kingsbury shared the single "All Gone" on The 405 and the video for the track on PopMatters. Be sure to check out the song above and stay tuned for more music from Kingsbury dropping later this year.
Caroline Kingsbury grew up in Florida and began writing songs at the age of 12. The project Kingsbury began last year when Caroline released three singles that amassed over a million plays on Spotify. Her new music takes a jump light years ahead, starting with the early summer single “All Gone.” A homemade, DIY pop song that started out as a garageband session, the single reaches new heights and introduces a truly original young artist to the world.
“All Gone was the first song I self-produced since high school. The reason I hadn’t produced something for myself in so long was that I was terrified of messing up and didn't think I could actually do it. I don't have any technical training and I previously lived in Nashville where everyone had legit training and equipment. I was feeling very lost and confused about pretty much everything, especially music. So I opened up GarageBand again and it turned into All Gone.”
The single says everything it needs to say for Caroline, making a new mark entirely on her own terms as both a performer and a producer. Caroline Kingsbury makes strange and brilliant, forward thinking pop music unlike anyone else at this moment.
“There are a million things this song could mean to me, but one is that I’m terrified of death. I almost lost my brother to cancer a few years ago and it was an awakening at an early age that I didn't expect. I've had to wrestle with that anxiety pretty much everyday. The closer you get to someone, the worse it is, knowing that they will be “gone” one day and that you will be gone one day. But I’ve come to accept it. Things will always end up moving on and that can beautiful. All gone is about moving on, whether it’s in a relationship, an anxiety, a place in our life, honestly whatever. I hope this song is a place people can come to wrestle with that.”
“All Gone” was released June 29 on Little Assembly. “Blurry Now” is out today.
More songs to come throughout 2018.
