Setting the tone with a celestial frequency and elegantly strummed guitar with enigmatic percussion details, Colt Sterk opens his latest release, Changed Her Mind with the vulnerable lyrics, “Another sleepless night rolls by, in these lonely sheets, and no amount of tossing and turning will bring her back to me…”
Changed Her Mind expands to tell a heart-wrenching, relatable break-up story about “fighting a constant urge to call an ex after a breakup and eventually giving into that desire”.
We love the emotive nature of Colt’s artistry and how he delivers his sadness and exemplifies the human condition.
“Can’t you see, I’m not that tough” sings Colt honestly and with passion. The artist from Eagle, Idaho cites John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Eric Church, Jake Owen, Kip Moore and Ben Rector as his influences, which we can feel come through in this composition, but it is clear that Colt is forging a path of his own.
Speaking on his wider artistry, Colt says “This single is just one part of a greater story of pursuing, struggling with and ultimately finding love. Specifically, this song speaks on navigating the struggles of heartbreak.”
We love Colt Sterk‘s honest and relatable energy. We have added Changed Her Mind to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and have been exploring his discography including Cherry Stem and Grandpa’s Truck.
