South Side Chicago’s Antony Carter releases his new single “Songwriter”. With a sound that blends 80’s R&B with powerful, almost gospel-like lyrics, Carter brings a unique and tender touch to the relationship between parents and children.
The song serves as a metaphor, comparing songwriting to parenting and highlighting the special bond of family. In a time where many have lost loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic, Carter hopes that “Songwriter” will bring comfort to those who are remembering their loved ones and clarity to those who still have their parents with them.
The music video for “Songwriter” was inspired by Carter’s own parents, who recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. The video highlights Carter’s family and carries a universal message that can apply to all families.
In addition to writing, arranging, recording, and performing “Songwriter,” in conjunction with the theme of the song, Carter’s own son Kendall Carter lent his skills on electric guitar and bass.
