Shawn McDonald - Brave
McDonald took a different approach to this release compared to the projects he's done in the past. "I've been a singer/songwriter for close to 16 years now and have seen so many elements progress within my music," he shared in a press release. "I may have started with just an acoustic guitar and some simple stories, but I've since sought to create art with meaning, messages, thought and depth. This record feels like the deepest I've ever dived in that direction, all while adding considerably to my sound, which is why I called the record Brave. I feel like I'm making art with the same intentions, but there is definitely an increasingly noticeable electronic element on top of the acoustic foundation."
"We Are Brave," the album's debut single, showcases that very message. McDonald explained, "In the past, I've always been a very timid soul and have often been afraid of being judged, which has probably caused me to miss out of a lot of things in life. Remembering that phase of my life, about feeling like I don't fit in, I realized there are probably a lot of people out there who feel the exact same thing. We all feel inadequate at times and that's where the whole concept came into play. The song and album as a whole is about putting down our insecurities, fears, and how we think people are going to respond to us in favor of simply being brave."
