Kristen Merlin discusses new single “Shame”
To me, this song is an anthem – for anyone who’s ever felt like they were held back by the judgement of others for reasons that don’t necessarily define them or their true character. This song really is about everyone out there who has come to face with some sort of shame in their life, whether it’s whom you choose to love, what race you were born into or how you choose to live your life. This song was an honest moment in a writing session with some of the most talented writers I’ve ever had the pleasure of sitting in a room with, Catt Gravitt and Jake Rose. I wanted listeners to feel a sense of strength and inclusivity and walk away feeling excited to embrace and celebrate everyone’s uniqueness – including their own.
Austin Shawn (Colbie Calliat, Julliette Reilly), who produced the project discusses new single “Shame”
I think Shame really shows off every single corner of Kristen from her writing, stellar voice, and most importantly her story and truth. That’s what really makes the song special and I couldn’t be more proud to have stamped our names on it.
