Getting real and honest with his fans.
Today, Kameron Marlowe released his highly anticipated sophomore album, Keepin’ The Lights On. The North Carolina native had been building quite the buzz around the release of this record with the singles leading up to the whole album reveal. From his steamy ballad with Ella Langley, “Strangers,” to the tender love letter to his fiancée, “Quit You,” Marlowe was letting fans know this one would be special.
And he was not lying.
“These songs are the journey of the past 2 years full of love, loss and growth I hope y’all can relate to them no matter what part of the journey you’re on.”
The storytelling from the first song to the last gives listeners a peek into his world. From the fiery love he has for his soon-to-be wife to taking fans into some of his childhood memories back where he grew up, the album gives the feeling as though you are watching the evolution of Marlowe, turning from a boy to a man.
As he reflects on those monumental moments from his adolescence, his lyrics show he has marinated in those significant moments, changing his perspective and knowing that every lesson had a more significant meaning.
“I am so proud of this album and how natural it felt piecing it all together. Getting more honest and sharing things I battle with was something I had to really find courage to feel comfortable doing, but seeing the way my fans relate to my music made it all worthwhile.
‘Keepin’ The Lights On’ is an ode to my dad’s commitment to providing for my family and the life lessons he taught along the way.”
Marlowe intertwines these heavier-hitting slower ballads (that highlight his thick drawls) with other tracks that bring the honky tonk heat, creating an album of highs and lows that keep listeners locked in.
Produced by Dann Huff with writing credits from Kendell Marvel, Dallas Wilson, Mitchell Tenpenny, and Wyatt McCubbin, this team did a perfect job growing the sound that Marlowe established on his debut album, We Were Cowboys.
Here’s a few early favorites:
“911”
“High Hopes”
“Lock Me Up”
