We had the pleasure of interviewing Alannah McCready over Zoom video!
Singer-songwriter Alannah McCready recently released her new single, \u201cSomething Like That.\u201d which was produced by Sterling \u201cDavid\u201d Gittens Jr., and written by McCready and Will Gittens.
\u201cSomething Like That\u201d offers a hopeful message of healing after a previous relationship while seeking a new partner that gives the love and respect that one deserves. McCready highlights the importance of holding romantic partners to higher standards and remembering self-love is key, \u201cI\u2019m stronger, and I know myself better, I\u2019m not asking for too much.\u201d The new track showcases the versatility of McCready\u2019s voice and her ability to easily transition from her strong, rich lower vocal register to her effortless head voice.
Relatable to anyone who has struggled after a break-up, McCready dives deeper into the message of the song, saying, \u201cI feel like a lot of people, including myself, rattle off all of these outrageous things they \u2019want\u2019 and \u2019need\u2019 out of a relationship but in reality, we all just want the simple things that make us happy like spending quality time with each other and honesty,\u201d she continues touching on self-worth, \u201cI am at a point in my life where anything less is just not going to work because I\u2019ve had issues in past relationships.\u2019 \u201d
Nashville-based country musician Alannah McCready was born near Minneapolis, MN, and has loved a diverse range of music since a very young age. \xa0She attended the University of Madison, WI, on a full athletic scholarship for women\u2019s hockey. Her passion for music never left completely, yet her involvement with the college and pro sports worlds did not allow a great deal of time to pursue other interests.
Upon graduating, McCready took a job doing PR for a sports management company in New York and began writing music again. Her uncle, a recording artist in Los Angeles, gave her a connection to a music producer in Nashville, who urged her to come to visit and test out a few songs.\xa0\xa0To her delight, she was told by professionals that, yes, she should be pursuing a professional musical path.\xa0\xa0She packed up her bags and moved south and has been honing her craft ever since.
McCready is taking her can-do attitude and confidence learned from playing a primarily male dominated sport to her music career.\xa0She takes her creativity seriously but with a healthy dose of fun and playfulness for her craft.
