‘Caroline’ – New Single From Becca Caffyn
Indie-folk singer/songwriter Becca Caffyn welcomes new era with stunning track Caroline.
Recorded on a vintage Gibson J45 acoustic guitar, Becca Caffyn’s tell-all track Caroline details the conflicting feelings of unexpectedly falling in love following the conclusion of a long-term relationship.
Solo-written by Caffyn and produced by Will McGillivray (Goodwill, There’s A Tuesday, Mim Jensen), the song cured a two and a half year long spell of writer’s block, putting into words mounting feelings that Caffyn had never before been able to articulate. Ultimately about Caffyn’s self-perception and fear of her own evolution, the track interrogates the complexities of romantic relationships, and the way that these interactions expose the limits of the relationship that we have with ourselves.
In the midst of experiencing situations that would’ve upset a hopelessly-romantic younger version of herself, the chorus sees the singer-songwriter confess “I’m so disappointing to the girl I’ve outgrown”, speaking to the struggle of letting go of who you once thought you would be in the process of becoming who you are.
Caroline is the first single from Caffyn’s upcoming EP, Isn’t It Romantic?, due for release on December 4th.
An exercise in catharsis, the Isn’t It Romantic? EP is the by-product of navigating a tumultuous and intense new romance following the demise of Caffyn’s first relationship. The third EP from New Zealand-born London-based singer-songwriter Becca Caffyn, Isn’t It Romantic? showcases a more evolved, full-band sound, whilst retaining her trademark autobiographical lyrical style.
