Summer Doesn’t Feel like Summer
Written and produced with Minnesota producer/ songwriter Andrew McFarlane, ‘Summer Doesn’t Feel Like Summer’ is a sunny Sunday afternoon song about how the way we miss people changes with the seasons. With influences from alt-pop bands such as Sammy Rae and the Friends, as well as country artists such as Ingrid Andress and Kelsea Ballerini, ‘Summer Doesn’t Feel Like Summer’ fuses Nashville country with indie pop. Despite being about heartbreak, ‘Summer Doesn’t Feel Like Summer’ has a catchy, upbeat melody and features a jazzy sax performed by Quinten Bianchi.
