One thing especially true for artists is a (sometimes) crippling anxiety about what we're creating. Couple that with the fact that no one can really predict what the audience will take to, and we have quite the quandary. On some level it's good for us - I think it keeps us searching for ways to self-improve, on the other hand, it can be a pathway to paralysis. These subjects and more are tackled amazingly by Wammie-Award-winning singer/songwriter Melissa Quinn Fox and her new track "Dear Self Doubt."
The song itself is exactly the kind of thing I love - a smooth bass line, stuttering drumbeat and psychedelic guitar playing stabs and counter-melodies. Of course, we have to comment on Ms. Fox's singing, which is impeccable. She has a country-alto style mixed with just the right touch of blues. Overall "Dear Self Doubt" goes to the heart of what it means to be a thriving person in spite of challenges. I hope to hear more in the near future.
