Ellie Holcomb premiers new single “Constellations”.
Award winning CCM singer/songwriter Ellie Holcomb releases a new song, “Constellations.” This is the first song she’s released since her sophomore album, Red Sea Road, in 2017.
“I wrote this song with David Leonard and Jon Guerra, and while we were together, we got into this conversation about how each of us have walked through dark nights of the soul, I’ve walked through that personally, and I’ve walked through that in community, and I think collectively, as a country and as a globe, we are in a really hard season of collective grief and suffering. I was planning to put this song out on my new record that I’m working on, but it just feels like the time for this song is right now.” shared the endearing vocalist.
Because of the present pandemic and being unable to go into the studio, she is releasing the single that features recording of her vocals taken during the writing session on the first take.
“This is probably the most raw song I’ve ever written, and the vocal that’s on the recording is actually the vocal I recorded the first time I ever sang the song,” she explains. “This song is for the moments when you want to shake your first at the sky because this life hurts. It breaks. It ends. It confounds us, and it confuses us. It makes sense to me that this earth is not our home. But while we’re in this chaos, desert valley, dust place, there is an echo from somewhere else that reminds us that we are not alone. That is my hope for this song.”
All through the quarantine season, Holcomb and her musician husband Drew Holcomb (of Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors) creatively embraced fans to “Kitchen Covers,” where they play a cover song, for many evenings per week in their house. The response has been so positive, the pair is publishing these songs’ exclusive vinyl recordings on three distinct volumes.
