New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Chris Donohoe's new EP, Let The Light In Vol. 2, contains five meaningful tracks including his new single, "Cut Too Deep." Donohoe's committed vocal communicates the music with the honesty and sincerity each song deserves. The messages of love, fear, loneliness, resilience, and hope for humanity permeate the songs in varying styles while maintaining a common sonic thread and a mature, and modern indie-rock vibe.
"Cut Too Deep" is the first track and single from the EP. Donohoe imagines
America as a wounded patient and asks "...are we too far gone to treat, 'cause we've been cut too deep?" Donohoe goes on to say, "I wrote the song during a cynical moment where I was wondering how will we ever learn to even communicate with one another to even then begin to address the divide in our country."
The single is a reflection of the pain and division exposed by the current social, cultural, and political environment in the United States, which Donohoe believes has damaged the fabric of our country, not to mention caused painful rifts within families and amongst loved ones.
Donohoe recorded the EP in Nashville at Blackbird Studio "E" in January of 2020 and wrote the musical framework of the song on the piano, but desired to bring more life to the tune with the help of co-writers Tim Lauer and Tony Lucido. Lauer locked onto a synthesizer sound that formed the foundation of the recording as Lucido came up with an inventive bass line that lifts and drives the track's chorus. The new single has a distinctive tone that resembles John Mayer, Seal, Vance Joy, and
James Morrison.
