Nashville-based singer/songwriter Savanna Leigh has announced the August 20th, 2024 release of her new EP, reminders of you. New single “mason street” is out now, along with an official video.
According to Savanna Leigh, “mason street” is the most personal song she’s ever written and it’s the first song she’s released on which she is the sole writer.
Savanna Leigh shares that the single is about…
When you’re at a stage in your life where you don’t recognize who you are anymore, a place where you feel like the best days are behind you, and the best parts of you are dormant. It’s scary when you don’t know how to access those good parts or even bring them back. I felt hurt, witnessed loss, and saw my childhood through a new lens this year. I took off the rose-colored glasses which brought a lot of painful things to the surface that I pushed down.
It created a lot of anxiety, confusion, and sadness in my life and this song was my way of explaining all of that. I hope anyone going through this or something similar can find a piece of themselves in mason street. I was able to turn a really painful time in my life into something beautiful. It has a really special place in my heart because of that but also because of how people connected to it last year when I played it while touring for a couple of weeks.
Leigh’s fourth EP reminders of you delves into “the complex, sometimes uncomfortable layers of outgrowing relationships and past versions of yourself.”
She adds about the EP:
The songs are full of hidden meanings and the storytelling was the main focus for me when writing this project. I wanted the production to feel very Florida, driving with the windows down, summer air, and beach vibes, but with a melancholy undertone. It is a heavy project but in the best way.
The title of the EP allows for multiple meanings. “reminders of you” could be “an ex, a past version of yourself, a friend, a place that is significant to you, etc.”
Leigh has also announced her EP release show at Analog @ Hutton Hotel in Nashville on August 20.
