Chris Garcia Sullivan is familiar with the grind with new single, "Butterflies," from label MPG Breakthrough Producer of the Year nominee Elliot Vaughn (Frank Turner, Jason Ringenberg, Spunge); it is a sign that making is a process worth wrestling with, that the pain of the hustle motivates its grace.
"Butterflies" is about how challenging it can be to follow your dreams in this day and age. It's about how ambition is a blessing and a curse and how it celebrates that to make art, sometimes, you pay a bit for it with some pain."
That pain reverberates within the song's dynamic shifts; the quiet moments feel like whispered confessions, while the choruses burst with defiance and determination. By contrast, Vaughn's production lets the song breathe, allowing room for each note of longing and triumph to settle.
"Butterflies" hovers between anthemic peaks and soul-exposing, intimate verses. Sullivan's unfiltered, soulful songwriting takes an honest look at the bittersweetness of ambition and how pursuing your dreams can be both a blessing and a challenge. And with "Butterflies," he's asking us to spread our wings and keep flying.
