“Nothing Anymore,” the second single from Sean McConnell‘s forthcoming album A Horrible Beautiful Dream (6th August via Soundly Music), is available everywhere NOW.
“'Nothing Anymore’ is simply a statement of what I know, which is nothing,” says the GRAMMY-nominated singer, songwriter and producer. “Life is grey, not black and white. I’ve come to that conclusion through pain, as well as joy. Through suffering, as well as euphoria. Through gain and through severe loss. Especially this year.” “The older I get the less I claim to know,” he adds. “While I believe in a love that animates all, there’s also a certain amount of mayhem and lawlessness that I can’t deny.”
Proclaiming “a jack-of-all-trades is too cheap a title for the sought-after songsmith,” American Songwriter previewed the “haunting” track on Thursday (read it here), following an earlier preview of the album’s lead track “13th Apostle” (9/4) by Billboard, which praised the tune for its “earthy, rollicking piano center” and it’s perfect balance of “country and gospel as he declares himself the apostle that no one has ever heard of, though he is no less devout.”
