All About Her
Check out the latest from Paul Brandt's upcoming EP The Journey YYC VOL. 1, "All About Her"!
Warner Music Canada recording artist Paul Brandt has today announced that Friday, April 6, 2018 will be the release date for his newest collection of songs. The Journey YYC: Vol. 1 is the first of two EPs to be released in 2018.
Paul Brandt is the most awarded male Canadian country artist in history. His 1996 debut RIAA certified Gold album Calm Before the Storm went on to sell one million albums internationally, propelled by the #1 single and wedding classic “I Do”. Stateside, his #5 and #1 charting songs “My Heart Has A History”, and “I Do” were the first to chart by a male Canadian Country artist on the US Billboard Top 20 since 1976.
His 11 career albums have spawned hit singles, multiple Album of the Year awards, gold, platinum, and multi-platinum performances. According to Nielsen BDS, of the top 25 Canadian Country songs, 6 were released by Paul Brandt, and his song “My Heart Has a History” is the most played Canadian Country song since the chart began. Paul is also the most played Canadian Country artist on Country Radio in history (Nielsen BDS). He has had 26 top ten songs at Canadian Radio.
“There’s a song on this first playlist of songs called ‘YYC BNA’, says Brandt from his studio in rural Alberta. “It’s a really special one to me. Bittersweet reflections on the trip from that YYC Calgary airport to Nashville’s “Berry Field” BNA were a catalyst for some of the spirit of this project. Calgary and Nashville are the only places I’ve ever called ‘home’, and those two cities bookend my journey in life so far.”
The album’s latest single, “All About Her,” is a pop-infused anthem which Paul says gelled quickly. “I greatly respect the co-writers on this song, so working with Seth Mosley and Ben Stennis was a dream come true for me. The more we got to know each other, the more it was clear that our wives are incredible inspirations to us, each in their own unique ways. We wanted to write a song that would celebrate them and the thankfulness we have for being in their lives. Once we began moving in that direction with the song, it kind of started to write itself. I’ve found the best songs always do that; they ride the emotion and spirit of the idea.”
The emotions in the song are perfectly captured in the powerful video for “All About Her” shot by award-winning director Joel Stewart.
