CARSON FERRIS - Ghosts

On Rotation: CARSON FERRIS "GHOST"

Carson Ferris, the 14-year-old artist from Provo, UT, unveils his latest electro-pop creation, "Ghosts," a song that explores the theme of letting go and moving on from toxic relationships and situations. The song's opening line, "Do you believe in ghosts?" sets the stage for a journey of introspection and healing.

Embedded within "Ghosts" are lyrics that speak directly to the heart of Carson's message: the importance of forgiveness and letting go. The bridge emphasizes that true peace comes from moving forward, shedding resentment, and embracing forgiveness as a pathway to healing. Carson's lyrical approach not only showcases the young teen’s maturity as a songwriter but also invites his growing audience to connect with universal emotions of love, loss, and personal growth.

"Ghosts" kicks off with haunting synths that underscore Carson's poignant vocals, creating an atmospheric backdrop that resonates with listeners. Produced by Matthew Parker, the track achieves a delicate equilibrium between emotional vulnerability and relaxed, atmospheric vibes. While initially envisioned as a dance track, Carson and Parker opted for a slightly slower tempo, prioritizing synth-heavy beats that enrich the song's introspective lyrics. The production aptly captures the raw emotions conveyed through Carson's vocals, resulting in a song that resonates even after the track concludes.

As his first single in nearly nine months, "Ghosts" signifies a new chapter for Carson, embracing electronic elements while staying true to his pop-rock roots influenced by artists like Journey, OneRepublic, and Ed Sheeran. With Matthew Parker's expert production and Carson's emotive vocals, "Ghosts" sets a high standard for what's to come from this young talent.
