Chris Quesnel strips it down to the soul with "Cherry Chapstick" (Acoustic)

Chris Quesnel removed the layers to get to his music's raw, unfiltered core on "Cherry Chapstick" (Acoustic). Captured in the comfortable quarters of his home studio, Chris forgoes the polish for poignancy, allowing the underdressed arrangement to leave the room where every utterance is intimate as a secret whispered in your ear.

The beauty of this stripped-down acoustic version is in its simplicity. No more the distractions of heavy production, just Chris's earnest vocals and subtle, ragged guitar to carry the load. And take it they do right to the heart. His voice seems more intimate and inviting as if he's sitting across the table from you and packing his story into every breath. The original had potent lyrics, but they become the centerpiece here, hitting with emotional resonance and weight that stays with you after the last note has faded.

Chris is living every line, and his dedication to his craft is palpable in every chord. This is an acoustic version of that track; it's an intimate portrait of an artist willing to be vulnerable, welcoming us into his world armed only with his voice, guitar, and a story that feels as real as it sounds. For old and new music fans alike, this is Chris Quesnel at his most forthright and sincere. "Cherry Chapstick" (Acoustic) is a song that should be felt as much as heard.
