KAMERON MARLOWE

                                                               "Steady Heart" 

                                                               Columbia Nashville

With his single “Giving You Up,” Kameron Marlowe, someone familiar to music lovers from his time spent on season 15 of The Voice, broke through and quickly stamped his name down on the country music map. The song would become certified gold by the RIAA and earn him the status as an artist to watch.

He’s since used each subsequent release to showcase the many different sides of who he is as an artist while continuing to display his signature soulful vocals in the heart of each song, whether it be on “Tequila Talkin’” or on the more rock kissed country edged sound of “Raise One Up.” 

Marlowe now returns with “Steady Heart,” a song he co-wrote with Jessi Alexander and Dan Isbell.

The slowed down and softer tilted song is change of pace from what we’ve heard from Marlowe over his last few releases, which adds another layer of depth to his already well stocked arsenal, while also giving this song the perfect balance it needs to enhance its stellar lyrics.

Over mostly acoustic guitars that are laced together with classic country instrumentation, Marlowe uses that signature soulfulness to pull us through a lyric that focuses on the balance that finding the right one brings to your life, but he does it in such a crafty way through the first verse that it mostly plays into the age-old adage that opposites attract.

“She’s a glass of wine on a back porch, I’m a bourbon in a bar.”

“She’s an angel from Montgomery, I’m an old pawn shop guitar.”

“She’s wildflowers in a Mason jar, I’m barbed wire on an old fence post.” 

With the second verse, Marlowe then shifts gears and puts the focus on what it is about her that truly completes him as he sings:

“Her whisper brings the sunrise

Her kiss could stop the rain

Her midnight prayers always calm the crazy in my brain.”

“When we come together, we’re the best of who we are,” Marlowe reveals in the chorus, and with that one line completing the entire circle of the lyric, “Steady Heart” becomes a song that could easily be one that we’re hearing a lot during peak wedding season.
