The Forces of the Universe

The universe is compelling. Thought vibrations can manifest reality. I have an endless number of stories that prove this alignment in my own life. Different doors open and close for reasons that are sometimes not immediately clear to us.

Let me share with you a recent event that proves this. Our last four singles (Moving Out of Town, I Wanna Party, Special Star, and A Touch Too Much) were all produced and mixed by the extraordinary Matt Pop. So when it came time to call on a mixer for our forthcoming single, If Anyone Falls, we contacted him. Unfortunately, he was too busy producing the new Tight Fit album to accept any new projects. Initially, I was crushed, knowing that this Stevie Nicks cover would have perfectly suited his dance music production style.

But then the strangest thing happened. I inadvertently reconnected with a mixer we hadn't worked with in years. 

I excitedly got back to work crafting my unique instrumental and scheduled a vocal recording session with Apollo Rogers and Nick Bramlett. I reached out to Micah Blakeslee and he was able to lay down some guitars for us. Everything just started to fall into place.

It's always been my experience that the correct path you should be on will build itself right in front of you. Trust the process. ~ Carly

If Anyone Falls (Stevie Nicks Cover Song)

It's a real thrill for Hoyt and I to get the chance to record with Apollo Rogers and Nick Bramlett on our cover of the classic Stevie Nicks song "If Anyone Falls." Recording this song as a duet has given it a completely different vibe. We wanted to take it in a new direction.

This release has been a long time coming. We've been Stevie Nicks fans since before we were teenagers. When "If Anyone Falls" came out I was only 11 years old and Hoyt was 9. I remember watching the music video on MTV and being vastly impacted by her visual and vocal performance of the song.

Stevie's music, both as a solo artist and with Fleetwood Mac, has tremendously influenced us as songwriters. Even though we have a wealth of our own original material to record, we thought it was the right time to pay homage to one of the best romantic poets to ever walk the earth.

When we were laying down the vocals on Sunday, Apollo reminded me of something that I had long forgotten. He said, "A duet is a conversation." And that really resonated with me. Good music is and should be about connecting with people. It's my greatest wish that you connect with the music we make.

We hope you will enjoy our cover of "If Anyone Falls" as much as we enjoyed the process of recording it.

Sincerely, Carly of Candy Apple Blue
