Bethany Cosentino shares folk-pop inspired single "For A Moment"
Bethany Cosentino shares "For A Moment" which is the newest song from her upcoming debut solo album, Natural Disaster.
“For A Moment" features backing vocals by the song’s co-writers Madi Diaz, Kate York, and Sarah Buxton, and follows on from Bethany Cosentino's previous release, "Easy", and "It's Fine".
“The idea for “For A Moment” came to me one morning on a writing trip to Nashville. After waking up to the tragic news of an acquaintance‘s partners’ sudden death. I was laying in bed thinking about how quickly it can all be gone, and how important it is to lean into love and vulnerability while we’re here," Cosentino reflects.
"As the world changes, moments of joy mean more now than ever before, even if they only last for a moment. I brought the idea to Kate York, Madi Diaz and Sarah Buxton, and the magic of collaboration and songwriting just flowed. I knew I wanted this to be a beautifully lush song filled with mandolin, pedal steel and huge harmonies. It’s also a song that really allowed me to play with my range as a singer. No holding back on this one, literally and figuratively.”
As she gets set to share Natural Disaster with the world, Cosentino hopes that the album might help others find their own way toward transformation and renewal.
“When I look at all the artists I find most influential, the common thread is that they take risks and continue exploring different versions of themselves,” she says. “My goal is to keep growing and challenging myself and living outside any kind of box, to keep on evolving as an artist and a person. And if anyone’s feeling stagnant, I hope this record inspires them to see what else life has to offer. It’s really scary to take those risks and make big changes in your life, but what you find on the other side can be so magical.”
"For A Moment" is out now. Bethany Cosentino's debut solo album, Natural Disaster, is set for release on 28 July via Concord Records.
