"I've opened my heart; I'm standing here."

Did COVID derail your journey as an artist? Did you struggle with depression? Were you anxious about how your career or your passion might change shape?

In this episode, Brian Lambert talks about "We Are Okay," the song that details his journey from depression to triumph.  He gets candid about how he turned his uncertainty surrounding the pandemic into a 52-week production challenge, which he's used as motivation to produce one new song each week for the last year. He and Emmeline also discuss finding inspiration in setbacks, allowing oneself to get vulnerable in songwriting, the importance of community in music, and communicating effectively about one's music with potential fans.
