I remember clearly the first review I did for “Speed Limit” by Carson Ferris, at just 14 I was really impressed with what I heard, and now he is making waves in the pop music scene with his latest single “Ghosts,” released on July 5, 2024. Produced by Matthew Parker, this electro-pop track showcases Carson’s impressive vocal range against a backdrop of pulsing electronic beats.
“Ghosts” stands out for its immersive soundscape and Carson’s emotive performance. The song delves into complex themes like toxic relationships and the importance of letting go, displaying a maturity beyond the young artist’s years. Its slower tempo allows listeners to fully absorb its powerful message.
Initially conceived as an upbeat dance track, “Ghosts” evolved into a unique blend of heartfelt vocals and laid-back electronic vibes. Carson’s lyrics are particularly poignant, reflecting on the necessity of moving on from unhealthy situations. The bridge drives this point home, emphasizing that letting go is often the path to peace.
Carson’s ability to convey such universal themes is remarkable for his age. Parker’s production enhances the song’s emotional impact, making it a standout in Carson’s growing repertoire. The personal touch of Carson recording vocals in his home studio adds authenticity to the track.
Having started his musical journey at six with the electric guitar, Carson cites influences like Journey, OneRepublic, Ed Sheeran, and the Jonas Brothers. These inspirations shine through in his music, which blends pop and rock elements into a relatable sound.
“Ghosts” demonstrates Carson Ferris’ growth as an artist and his capacity for creating music with depth. It’s a compelling listen for fans of thoughtful electro-pop, and signals a promising future for this young talent in the music industry.
