New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The long-awaited debut single by California country artist, Chris Canyon released today under Native South Records alongside featured artist Christie Huff. "
Forget Me" is an upbeat take on the realities of heartbreak and moving on. The single captures modern country melodies with a classic sound that's sure to take mainstream country radio by storm. "
Forget Me" has earned early praise from music blogs and social media followers for its heartfelt lyrics. Proximity Nashville described it as "One from the heart, about the heart, and for the heart."
"We have all experienced heartbreak in one way or another. It's that crushing feeling where your entire world is coming down around you. I wrote this song about overcoming that, finding power in it, and gaining the ability to say "
Forget Me" I can thrive without you. It is a song about recapturing power in a position of weakness. When we are heartbroken it feels like nothing will get better. This single is to remind you that it does, and you come back stronger because of it," Canyon explained. "I hope people listening take away a sense of power in overcoming heartbreak. In a lot of ways, the song is more about finding the light at the end of the tunnel than it is about forgetting someone."
"
Forget Me" was produced by Native South Records (Westlake Village, CA) by Jonathan Smith (Luna Halo,
Blake Shelton, Hayley Kiyoko) and is the first of many upcoming releases, videos, and content for Canyon produced under the indie label.

Music is love, anger, happiness, sadness, and hope.
Music can capture time, bring back memories, and be conveyed beyond language. I take a lot of pride in getting to be a part of that," Canyon explains. "If you asked me what I hoped people took away from my music, I'd say, "a feeling". I hope that it makes you feel something, and you can connect with it."

With lyrics like "Cause my hearts on fire thinking maybe someday you'll miss me, just forget me" listeners will connect to the song from various standpoints depending on where they are in the love cycle.
