Mackenzie Shivers – “Johnny Gown” (Video Premiere)

This article has been imported from chorus.fm for discussion. All of the forum rules still apply.

Today I’m thrilled to introduce everyone to Mackenzie Shivers, an ultra-talented NY-based singer-songwriter who is gearing up for releasing her new album, primrose was in season, later this year. Her latest single and video for “Johnny Gown” is a synth-driven track about going through grief privately, and a reminder that you never know what someone is going through. Shivers shared:

When I wrote this ‘johnny gown’, it struck me how we are all working through things no one else sees. I had been working so hard to let myself feel all emotions after having a miscarriage, because that was the only way I knew how to move through the grief. Radical acceptance of all feelings. And while that was essential, it was also very exhausting, and it affected how I moved through the world. I felt like I was wearing this heavy yet invisible cloak, this secret. It was a reminder that you never know what someone is going through. We all have our shit.

Mackenzie Shivers is an artist to watch as this year unfolds.
