Exclusive Premiere: Stream Loryn Taggart’s Fun, Jazzy New Track “The Vow”

By: Staff –

Emerging singer-songwriter Loryn Taggart is back with her fun and jazzy new track “The Vow”. Stream it exclusively via Aesthetic Magazine below.

“The Vow” is a fun jazzy effort that makes you believe it’ll get better. If this track is any indication, Taggart’s forthcoming debut album will be a must listen.

Taggart and Isaac Symonds (Half Moon Run) collaborated during a COVID writing session together. It was there that they co-wrote Taggart’s newest single The Vow (along with a previously released track “Carved Into Stone”, which came out in 2021). This energetic and upbeat pop-jazz track serves as a light and the end of the tunnel of grief. Taggart’s intention behind “The Vow” was to change the name of healing after loss, where music tends to be quite melancholy; dark and heavy. She set out to create a piece that was based on the pop-jazz genre she grew up on; music that reminded her of happier times.

“I wanted this song to sound like what my positive healing process felt like,” explained Taggart. “When I was grieving, I was really taken care of. I was surrounded by friends, I was close with family, I was always around people who had good hearts and wanted me to get better. I wanted the song to feel just like that.”

Inspired by the sound of Tim Baker’s last record Forever Overheard, Taggart asked Tim’s producer Marcus Paquin to help bring “The Vow” to life. The vocals, guitar, drums and bass were all recorded live off the floor, and the horn section (recorded at Planet Studios, Montreal) was added in to liven up the song. Marcus wrote the piano piece in the bridge on a Tom Thumb piano at Studio PM in Montreal, and when seeking background vocals Isaac Symonds seemed like the obvious choice. He recorded them from his home studio on Vancouver Island, “it was the cherry on top”.

Lyrically, this song is about going off and just falling for yourself, loving yourself and loving your process of figuring it all out on your own, and not feeling guilty for it. We all pull through in our own way.
