Rising pop singer-songwriter Rachel Norman has released her latest single “Fairway Drive.” Her first single since her debut EP Resist serves as a bouncy nostalgic ode to the singer’s hometown and sets the tone for her upcoming music.
Written by Rachel Norman, with production and instrumentation by Michael Abiuso of Behind the Curtains Media and additional production by Luke Aymon, “Fairway Drive” is an electronic organic production with natural and thoughtful vocals from Norman that create a contemporary live sound.
“I wrote Fairway Drive while driving home one day in March. I really enjoy improvising lyrics and melodies while on the highway. I’ll be belting alone in the car listening to my favorite artists, and a melody will come into my head. That’s when I turn the music off, press record in my voice memos, and just start improvising. I came home that day and drafted up the chords on my keyboard,” says Norman. “Fairway Drive is dedicated to everyone’s road trip home. A celebration of nostalgia, and a commemoration of friendship. I hope that Fairway Drive makes you smile.”
Norman released her debut EP Resist in 2019 to critical acclaim. Take Effect Reviews described the EP as “a grand introduction to the world.” She is slated to release more music in 2020.
