Kree Harrison is a known figure of Music City, with a lot of confidence of some of its maximum eminent artists; The Osborne brothers, Emmylou Harris, Maren Morris and many others spoke publicly about their admiration for their musical talent.
His single, “I Love the Lie” is an example: the composer and superstar of the presentation of Chris Stapleton and his wife Morgane co -written the song. Harrison and Staplestons have been mutual fans for a long time.
Nashville is Harrison’s house, but while immersing himself in the procedure of creating his album at the moment, the city jumps. It is a style that the singer and composer has established while making her first album, this old thing in 2016, when she went to Asheville, in North Carolina, to record in Echo Mountain Studios.
“I mean, I love Nashville so much, obviously. He has my heart,” Harrison said with a boot. “But I went to Asheville for the last album, and anything about this position: it is an old church that remodeled in a study. I love it. “
Like many artists, Harrison has been delicate with his artistic environment. “I mean, it’s like anything,” he continues to say. “Wherever you go, you put yourself in another environment. You get everything you think or energy. In fact, I believe it. “
In this case, Harrison adds, Echo Mountain provided a power replacement and the possibility of disconnecting the music industry at home for a while. “When you enter, you have the impression that there is a holy atmosphere, which makes sense, because it is a church,” he explains. “We spend there for 4 days. I just need to verify, put my phone under a mattress, take some of my closest friends and musicians and make the rest of the album. “
As for his record for the moment, Harrison will make a deep immersion in the classic country flavor that has encouraged him. However, she specifies that the sound is a bit replaced compared to her first album, which went more to a pop sensation of the 60s.
“New things are definitely more countries than the last record. It was a step back,” he said. “They gave me this outside my system, then I wanted to return to my roots to grow with incredible influences such as Trisha Yearwood and Patty Loveless, the country of the 90s. The country has a special position of Aarray in my heart, so to be able to make my own touch, it was important. “
To write several of the new project songs, Harrison fled in a space in Nashville where she and the Osborne brothers once lived. “We rent it for a week,” he recalls. “I brought some of my favorite co -authors and some new ones.
“It was completed, to be in this kitchen in which we had basically made memories, then we also create music,” he reflects. “It was actually great to create all this music in this house. “
Harrison is deeply aware of the strength of an atmosphere, which means writing songs in a position that looks like a space or pursuing the special recording environment for which he is looking for, even if it means going to North Carolina. In many ways, this attitude towards music manufacturing is the component of vintage country flavor of its new project, channeling a time when the generation to modify errors or background noises in the audio of recordings still did not exist. For Harrison, these injuries can be the most productive component.
“Dreaming this is very fun, but when it happens organically, it’s just the cherry at the top, you know?” She adds. “Keep the small treasures accidentally in the audio, or anything fun. “
While Harrison’s taste channels, classical country music in which he grew up, the safe facets of his career have obviously been modern: he contributed to American Idol season, despite everything at the time at the time. However, Harrison says he feels the duty to keep the classic country alive, especially when he has a giant platform as a national television song festival at his disposal.
“Those songs of the series were exciting sound power. At one time, the judges were a bit like,” intelligent woman for having selected this and bringing an inheritance, “he recalls. “I think it’s our work. “
During his mandate about Idol, Harrison performed songs through Kris Kristofferson, Patty Griffin and Candi Staton, among others. A functionality that presents him in a specific interpretation of “Choice du Cometer” by Susan Tedeschi’s song “It Hurt So Bad”.
“I struggled for that he didn’t fight, but you have to get authorization and all that, on television,” he continues. “I was very proud when despite everything said:” Okay, yes. “I was one!”
To date, Harrison still listens to the listeners who have discovered Tedeschi after their performance. “I am still labeled sometimes, such as” thanks for introducing this and for getting it out of the rear, “he adds. “And not because they are obsolete or anything, but because there is so much music.
“Sometimes it’s great to pass,” said Harrison.
