Based in the quiet mountains of southern California, Taylor Hamilton is a songwriter keyed into the beauty and meaning that emerges from patience and nuance. Her self-titled debut album, set for release later this year, operates within a kind of expansive melancholy, a sound both emotive and ethereal that relies as much on the negative space between the notes as the notes themselves. There might be no answers in Hamilton’s writing, but her deep and considered engagement with the questions is enough, as though soul and grace can provide resolution, or at least comfort, for even the most thorny of problems.
We’re thrilled to be able to share lead single ‘Might Say’ ahead of the record’s release. Demonstrating the finespun power of Taylor Hamilton’s music, the song is built from longing, the rawness of love and lust and their aching absences woven into gossamer sheets of guitar. Characteristically, the song relinquishes any concept of binary emotions, the clear Loves Me/Loves Me Not of Hollywood and sugary pop forgone in favour of subtle, multifaceted feelings that conflict and complement one another—leading to a very human tangle of yearning and doubt.
