A brief glimpse at the musician unlike you’ve seen her before.
In case you missed it, internet alumni and vocal powerhouse Shannon Taylor is bursting into 2021 full of surprises and exciting new projects. One track we keep going back to is her “Be My Guide’ (Acoustic)” released some weeks back.
Last year she released her first single since 2017’s debut EP Two Faced. “Be My Guide” established Taylor’s new style since her previous works and was an anthem for 2020. This new stripped-back rendition sheds light on the raw emotion of this track, playing the Taylor vocal strengths and strong lyrical capabilities.
“I wrote it about a month after my friend died of an overdose” says Taylor. “I wanted to write a song A) for my own grieving experience, for some sort of catharsis. And B) I wanted a song to celebrate his life after he was gone.”
