Erin Myers is a nineteen-year-old musician who recently released Slow Motion. The album apparently started off as a project for her high school class. Myers mentions: “The whole album is based around my feelings at the time (friendships, family, relationships, etc.) and it represents my very first big release as a young artist just starting out in the music world.” I will say as a forty-year-old dude the topics and themes seemed very mature. When I was around that age musicians my age didn’t write about things like mental health or frankly anything that deep.
“Anxiety” is the first song and has a carefree sort of warm melancholy. I loved the music here which sounded organic and like it could be heard playing in a small cafe. It’s intimate and the vocals are loose, free and overall just sound great. “(Take me to) Nirvana” is next and this song is melancholy but not really as relaxed or loose. There’s more of a longing and yearning in this song. The vocals are still exceptional. “In Control” is fairly straightforward revolving around strummed guitar and vocals. The hook is catchy and she sings at a higher octave and kills it. “Lies” contains drums and adds some momentum. I thought this was a smart move putting the song in this sequential order. The song might be the most single worthy out of the batch. “Falling Further” is the first song she ever wrote at fifteen. The mixing was really done on this track and there’s a warm combination of tone and textures. I loved how the song started off melancholy and got quite joyous. This was the highlight in my opinion. “Slow Motion” is a well-done piano ballad. She closes with “95 Hours” which is a sincere and heartfelt sendoff. I would say Myers is off to a great start. She may be young but there’s no denying she can sing and write a song. I hope this is just the beginning of her career and I hope to hear more soon.
