Caitlin Cannon notes that the video for her latest single is fairly true to life. “All of the scenes were shot in East Nashville and my neighborhood in Old Hickory,” says the self-proclaimed “cosmicana” chanteuse. “My great friend, songwriter Dave Bornè, even pulls the shade in our little nod to the Say Anything moment. There’s so much of me in it.”
“Let It Hurt Some” also marks the first time Cannon has written a song with the same person who went on to record the track and come up with the visual for the video. That person is Misa Arriaga, a multi-instrumentalist and former member of Grammy winner Kacey Musgraves’ band. Arriaga produced Cannon’s new self-released LP, Love Addict, an authentic and evocative confluence of country’s cosmic and nostalgic streams.
“I had a lot of late nights over at Music City Studio B, getting better acquainted with country music,” says Cannon of the recording (and learning) process. “We listened to deep cuts from George Jones and Don Williams. I heard Dawn Sears and Lee Ann Womack songs I’d never heard before. I began hearing more complexity in the simplicity of the words and arrangements. Misa and I wrote ‘Let It Hurt Some’ on one of those nights.”
We’re proud to premiere Caitlin Cannon’s “Let It Hurt Some.”
