Fourteen-year-old Carson Ferris from Utah is making waves in the modern pop scene with his latest single “FOMO” and for good reason. This award-winning singer-songwriter writes a rich and beautiful song expressing his insight into life and passion. The song gradually builds in intensity to evolve into something else entirely, like a caterpillar’s metamorphosis into a butterfly. Opening the song is a guitar intro followed by Carson Ferris’s fresh and smooth vocals. His distinctive and passionate voice soars through the chorus while singing colourful harmonies at the verses. As the song progresses, the beat comes on and the keys outline the background. Slowly yet surely, layers are added and different elements are incorporated. The song is about priorities and making your choice. Ferris takes his own life story of how to pursue music, he had to sacrifice other things in life. When you know what matters most to you and you chase it, you will have to give up other things. However, that feeling of regret always persists to an extent. This gorgeous composition is a musical journey that needs to be experienced.
A blend of pop-rock and electronic music, it is masterfully composed and the track ends on a high, with glaring notes and pulsating beats. Recorded and produced with MYKYL, the track is mastered beautifully bringing out the intensity of house and the soul of pop. The song shifts towards a heavier soundscape with powerful vocal lines and electronic beats. This song is a reminder that perseverance matters and that if you want to get good at something, you have to sacrifice on the other hand and work hard for it.
