"B
Martin and I always go from deep conversations straight into songwriting. We pull from purposeful, real-life scenarios and manifest songs. I'm super excited to be signing with him and Purpose Driven Artists and feel so confident about these fire songs we've developed. This first track, "Waiting," was written about a past relationship of mine. She lived in Atlanta, I was in LA, and both being in the industry, we were always waiting on each other's calls. There's so much truth living inside this record that I feel like anybody can relate to it." - Palmer
"When I met Rob, I knew he had star power, but when I heard him sing over an acoustic guitar - I knew he had recording artist star power. We wrote one song on a drive back from San Diego, and things clicked. After doing a few more, we decided to take it to the next level and do a full eight-song and eight-video project. We pitched it to exec producer Leah Sturgis, and we are now ready to release our first single "
Waiting" in May of 2021." - B
