THE ONES I LOVE
The new album from Pamela Laws OUT NOW!
‘The Ones I Love’ was inspired by the stories that emerged when the world stopped during COVID. I released an EP last year called ‘High West.’ You hear the music I wrote in total lockdown on that collection of songs. I collaborated remotely on the ‘High West’ material, both on the writing and recording, with two extremely talented friends, Jack Petruzzelli and Adam Bernstein, who I’ve known in the music business for a long time. The songs featured on the ‘Ones I Love’ are songs that emerged when the world began to open up. Music allowed me to continue moving forward even as the world was at a standstill. The stories were like a magic carpet for me – they had been building up, accumulating while I rushed around for the few years leading up to COVID. When COVID happened, the stories that would become songs could finally get my attention.
The stories came with force, probably due to how long my hectic life had made them wait. I hope to have learned to listen more to my inner world so that these stories get their day in the sun more regularly.
