Songbird Soars Into the 80s With New Single ‘All The Way'


Songbird, a native of Brick, New Jersey, is breaking through with her new single "All The Way". Songbird, most famous for her soulful pop ballads recounting the ups and downs of love, is venturing out with this single — a energetic tribute to the 1980s. Having been requested to write a song for her fiancé's movie, Phantom and Percepter, she was immersed in superheroes, action, and complex love triangles. Quite surprisingly, she had composed the song in a time frame of te n minutes of rehearsal, which further attests to the fact that inspiration will strike at times when least anticipated.

The storyline of the movie, inspired by her fiancé’s father and his best friend’s childhood superhero adventures, was the ideal platform for Songbird to fly on her own and stretch her wings. Swapping her trademark color scheme of modern pop for 80's retro glamour, she accepted the challenge and penned a song that was retro-flavored and cinematic. "All The Way" is greater than a record — it's a sonic step onto the next level, and a showcasing of her creativity and risk-taking. 


Embracing the emotional heart of the film's love triangle, inserting pressure into the storyline as well as tension, the song was recorded in her producer's house studio in Nashville, Tennessee. Songbird applied the challenge with fresh spontaneity. At recording time, she opted to include a key-change climactic ending, channeling the energy of classic Bee Gees hits. The artistic gamble added that little extra touch of sheen to the ending of the song, and it's now a show-stopper that won't be easily forgotten. Songbird's recent live SXSW appearance in Austin, Texas, already gave her fans a taste of her evolving sound, and she'll have fans rotating with live gigs planned throughout the year.

"All The Way" is for Songbird, not only a soundtrack release but one of her personal favorites to record in her career. She can't wait to introduce people to another part of herself, to tell them where she's been, where she's come from, and where she's headed now. With its effervescent retro sound and real life backstory, "All The Way" is in fact a real tribute to the energy, innovation and creativity of Songbird.
