Can we truly find ourselves if, at first, we aren’t lost?
Spence Brown explores what it means to drift through life as time slips away on his latest offering, “26.” The contemplative new single was self-written and produced, recorded in one late night session and presented as a raw antidote to burning existential questions.
“I wanted to keep it simple and just talk about how I feel, so I didn’t even write a hook. Just rapped,” Brown said. “Like most of the other songs I made for this project, this was made late at night all in one session, just me, a microphone and the stars.”
“26” is the third single from Brown’s upcoming album, slated for release this June. Brown notes that this single is one of the album’s most vulnerable moments, and stems from his own challenge to find direction and purpose.
“In my mid-twenties, I really kinda lost hope for a while. I felt like I was just floating in space, with everything that I wanted out of my reach,” Brown said. “It was a very empty and numb feeling and I put that all into this song.”
