Howdy! Is this your first time visiting the musical universe of Cailin Russo?
Whether you’re a long time fan or a new listener, Cailin Russo prepared a treat we can all enjoy with her new single “Santa Fe.” The hazy new song was penned by Cailin, alongside Nick Hahn and Lilla Vargen, with Hahn also producing.
“Santa Fe” is just one of many new songs from Cailin this year. Here’s what she had to say about it!
“Santa Fe is a metaphor for authentic romance. The whole song was about a boy I was chasing that gave me just enough to string me along, then would leave me questioning whether anything he said to me was real,” she explains. “’Is this the first time that you’ve been to Santa Fe, is this the first time that you’ve ever felt this way? I would have loved you if you hadn’t slipped away.. was it original?’ I’m naively hopeful the whole time until the last chorus / tempo switch where the ego war kicks in and I confront both sides of my brain saying that ‘This man will always love me’ and ‘this man will never love me’ then tie it up with ‘bitterness is another heartbeat’ meaning these feelings are fleeting but very intense.”
Cailin Russo dropped her debut EP House With A Pool in 2018, which has recently surpassed 1 million streams on Spotify. She has toured supporting Dream Wife in North America, and Gomez and Black Honey in the UK. Last summer, Cailin made her US festival debut at Lollapalooza in Chicago. She has also played on the BBC Introducing Stage at the Reading and Leeds Festivals.
