Emerging alt-pop artist Totten Bridge, aka James Palace, introduces his latest single, “Seasons Change,” a song challenging listeners to cast off fear and begin living out loud.
Talking about the track, Totten Bridge says, “My mother passed away in March and the grief was profound and palpable. At her wake, I played the Fleetwood Mac song ‘Songbird’ as a tribute to her life and it helped me to process what I was feeling. ‘Seasons Change’ was a song that I had been working on, but it was finished during this agonizing time. It has a contemplative yet powerful message to embrace change in order to live your best life and enjoy the journey. Don’t worry about what was…focus on what is and what’s to come!”
He goes on, “I wanted ‘Seasons Change’ to feel powerful and cause someone to listen to the lyrics as a call to action about embracing change and overcoming their fears.”
The Covid lockdowns of 2020 became the inspiration for New York City-based songwriter/producer/creator James Palace to begin the journey of creating the songs and finding a co-producer to help him craft the music that would become Totten Bridge.
Totten Bridge’s sound, unfettered by genre and defined by an endless and experimental musical pursuit, struck a chord with listeners, collecting more than 2.7 million streams and over 95,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, along with features on elite media outlets.
Totten Bridge focuses on universal themes of life and love with lyrics that are relatable in their concise, philosophical, and emotive directness, as well as contagious melodies and precise arrangements with balance.
“Seasons Change” opens on a gleaming intro flowing into a syncopated rhythm topped by light, shimmering layers as Totten Bridges’ high tenor imbues the lyrics with delicious, tantalizing tones. On the chorus, the harmonics take on heavier washes of coloration, as the vocals elevate to vibrant, alluring timbres.
Gently sentimental and tinted with shiny pop textures, “Seasons Change” unspools a carefully crafted, emotionally moving song.
