Could you paraphrase Taylor Berrett's explanation of his single "Broken" from his upcoming album?: You Need to Listen to Taylor Berrett's Must-Hear Track "Broken"
It's really your only job today.
Love John Mayer? Then you're definitely going to be into Taylor Berrett. The 22-year-old Virginia native wanted to be a writer when he was a kid, but it wasn't until he discovered _song_writing that he knew exactly what his calling was. The result? Some incredibly catchy music and his debut album Great Falls.
Taylor's style of music is the type that puts you at ease and can be kept on repeat all day long in your room. (Trust us, we know.) And his track "Broken" from his upcoming record—which we're exclusively premiering below!—is a prime example. "I've always been interested in incompleteness and the desire to be made whole," Taylor tells us. "Like a lot of my songs, it's directed towards someone else but it's really me talking to myself—trying to be OK with being broken."
As for the rest of his album, out March 10, we have a lot to look forward to. "There's a fair amount of acoustic guitar, but also plenty of different rhythms and tempos because it's always been important to me to have movement and energy," he says. "But of course there are also a few ballads. The feel of the album overall comes from my approach to the songwriting, which is to tell interesting stories that mean something." He definitely did just that.
