Cannon – Conversations

This is our first time covering 21-year- old independent artist, Cannon. This South Carolina native, has that perfect blend of R&B, indie and electronic sounds, all mixed with his warm inviting vocals. It’s not easy to sound organic, while having so many elements intertwined. He perfected that sound by playing open mic nights with an old acoustic guitar.

Cannon had the following to say about “Conversations”:

“Conversations” is about ignoring our personal issues for the sake of feeling like we don’t have them. It’s easier to turn to quick tricks to feel better or ignore feeling bad entirely than to really consider and engage with how we feel. There’s a really important difference between talking and having a conversation, whether it’s with ourselves or with others—and this song is emphasizing that difference. It’s easy to talk, but it’s hard to really engage with something enough to actually have a conversation. “Conversations” shows someone not engaging — they tell themselves they’re trying but they’re not really. They’re lying.
