Sara Jean Stevens gets ‘Lovesick’ on the title track from her new release. Stevens’ lends her crystal clear vocals to this moody track which is accented by delicate mallet played drums that build and a moody pedal steel. Stevens was joined in the studio by Matt Patton (Drive By Truckers) on bass and Taylor Collingsworth (Conor Oberst) on guitar.
Reflecting on writing the song Stevens says, “I wrote the song 20 years ago, and have never even played it live. It’s like it had to marinate deep in my cells for two decades before it was ready to see the world,” In addition she had some personal revelations before working on ‘Lovesick’. “This is the first recording I’ve done since being diagnosed AuDHD (Autistic and ADHD),” she shares. “It’s like I’m experiencing music and songwriting through a new lens of understanding, and ultimately, with more compassion for my own brain and heart. I’ve gone through such a transformation within myself and the best way for me to process it all is through songwriting.”
‘Lovesick’ is available now on all streaming platforms.
