After the enormous response to his vibrant initial offerings 'Outrider', 'Coal Train To New York' and his captivating cover of Nine Inch Nails' 'Hurt' earlier this year, London-based singer-songwriter Chris Erasmus returns with the striking new single 'Shotgun', a track that showcases his profound artistry and emotional depth.
With 'Shotgun', Chris crafts a powerful narrative that reflects both vulnerability and empowerment. The song’s lyrics explore the emotional crossroads of a turbulent relationship, capturing that pivotal moment when one chooses to walk away instead of continuing to engage in a toxic cycle. The line, “I’m driving alone on this road, but I’m not lonely / Just time as company,” encapsulates this sense of self-realisation and the strength found in leaving behind what no longer serves. It’s a theme that feels relatable and uplifting, turning what could be a moment of despair into one of personal triumph.
Chris’ vocal delivery on this track is both commanding and soulful, embodying the frustration and eventual clarity that comes with making a tough but necessary decision. His rich timbre, perfectly suited to the Americana genre, is enhanced by the song’s seamless instrumentation. The track’s production elevates his voice at every turn, allowing Chris to take centre stage while the music bolsters his emotional storytelling.
Chris Erasmus has shown, once again, that his artistry continues to evolve in exciting ways. 'Shotgun' highlights the power found in choosing your own path, a theme that will surely resonate with listeners and leave them eager to see what direction he takes next.
