JC Stewart Releases Emotionally Devastating New Single

Interviewer: Hey JC! Welcome back…literally! How are you feeling?

JC Stewart: I’m just trying to do what I always do in life, which is running away from my problems at the minute, so… it’s fantastic. Joking! No, I’m really excited. It’s one of those things where you’ve spent two years working on something that gets you into a really artsy mood.

You think, “It doesn’t matter, I’m making it for me,” but then it comes out. And you do care. I definitely do care, but I’m really excited, and I know I couldn’t have done anything more with it.

Interviewer: That’s the best place to be in, surely, knowing you couldn’t have done anything more.

JC Stewart: Yes, and now especially because it’s the first one I’ve done on my own. I’m going pretty much on instinct, nobody’s had too much of an opinion on it until I finished it. And now it’s too late!

Interviewer: It did, in the best way, make me want to have a little cry.

JC Stewart: It is a bit depressing. I played it for my parents for the first time and they were like… do we need to get you home? Do you need a cup of tea? I did write it when I was going through a bit of a dark time, but then you come out of it and you go… bloody hell! But that’s what I love about music and art, you can put those intense emotions into something.

Interviewer: It’s extra special that this is your first song in two years, too. Why did you choose to return with it?

JC Stewart: Do you know what? This song wasn’t even meant to come out. For a long time, this was the song I wrote that led me into writing other songs. But this was just a song for me.

Then, I played it for friends who liked it, we developed it a bit, and my new team unanimously said they’d love to help me put this out as the first thing we do together. I actually, now, think this is exactly the right move.
