On writing 'Landslide', Lewis says, "Sometimes people say things so catastrophically offensive, that you have to wonder if they're even listening to themselves anymore". (Which is one of the several, catchy lyrical themes in this driving track). "People I know, and all around me are angry and concerned, and that's completely understandable. I hope this song gives you a vehicle to scream out those frustrations, and that it makes you feel heard and maybe even understood, even if it's just for 4 minutes".
"Conceptualizing the video happened quite organically", says A Brooks (producer). "With an overwhelming sign of the times provoking a shared disenchantment and a need to let off some steam, we invited a bunch of amazingly talented and similarly frustrated friends to the studio. We asked them to listen to the song once maybe twice, and step up to the mic and share their expression. They all showed up, and we captured it. It was a uniquely satisfying creative experience for sure".
'Landslide' is an original composition written by Billy Lewis Jr. and produced alongside longtime collaborators Erik Rudic, Nash Breen, Chad Sabo, and A Brooks. 'Landslide' is available now on most music platforms including iTunes. https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/landslide-single/id1191637867
