123: Kären McCormick
from New Slang Hosted by Thomas Mooney, Kären McCormick
Send us Fan Mail On Episode 123 of New Slang, I'm joined by up-and-coming pop country singer-songwriter Kären McCormick. McCormick is releasing her debut EP, a five-song collection of tunes called Retro. McCormick very much is one of these new, bright voices in pop country who are directly influenced and inspired by the rise of Taylor Swift in the mid-2000s and the '90s country her mother played while McCormick was growing up. McCormick's blend of clever hooks, intimate and first-person narrative storytelling about young love and loss feels warm and natural while her smooth vocals are brimming with loads of potential. During this conversation, we talk about moving to Nashville, releasing her debut EP in the midst of a quarantine, how essential an artist like Taylor Swift is and was for her (and many, many rising voices in country music), her rich heritage, and what's it's like being a multiracial woman artist trying to break into country music in 2020. This episode's presenting partner is Desert Door Texas Sotol and The Blue Light Live.
