"There's A Way Out" is a masterpiece in both lyrical impact and sonic flavor.
Simon XO inspires hope in listeners as he urges them to "scream it louder" in the open, belted choruses. This song is the long-awaited culmination of the type of message he has been striving to communicate. "So much of the pain in my life and the pain I've noticed in my friends' and family's lives are that we fail to let each other in. We lash out in anger when we should be doing the exact opposite," said Simon. "We don't feel alone because we are alone, we feel alone because we don't look up and see the waves of people that care so much about us."
Impressively, the single was written and produced by
Simon XO. The production makes use of thick synth sounds, forceful drum fills and a plethora of well-placed transitional sound effects that give
Simon XO his distinctive electro-pop trademark. Additionally, the track has an extra platinum shine from mastering by Grammy-nominated Andrew Garver, mixing by Keith Armstrong (Green Day, Echosmith, Cher), and engineering from Nick Brumme.
Originally from San Diego,
Simon XO started playing trombone at a young age. By thirteen, he was blasting it along to Neil Young,
Led Zeppelin and

Music to hone his craft. Since then, the producer and multi-instrumentalist has created his own version of electro-pop by combining explorative production elements.
