Independent Country artist Spencer Crandall had a very good 2020 with the release of his album āWildernessā, which went to number one. The collection was rolled out as a series of Eps before being made available as a full album, and it spawned the viral hit āMy Personā. Just a few months on from āWildernessā and Crandall is ready to share some more music with his fans via his new EP āLost in the Wildā.
āLost in the Wildā is essentially an extension to āWildernessā. Three of the songs are alternate versions of tracks from the album and the other two tracks are previously unreleased. Opening the collection is the wedding version of āMy Personā, which Crandall says he was asked for by fans following the original songās success on TikTok. This new version is sure to make those fans very happy, and itāll ensure the song is used in plenty of weddings for years to come.
Itās the other songs on the EP that really grab your attention though. The āStrippedā version of Thing I Canāt Say featuring Julia Cole allows you to really hear the vocals of both artists, while The Nate Dodge Remix of āDelete Allā gives a completely new flavour to the āWildernessā favourite taking Crandall into EDM territory. Iām always interested in hearing different spins on tracks and these both work really well.
The two new tracks ā āApartments in LAā and āNothing To Do With Youā ā further highlight Crandallās ability to craft an earworm. āApartments in LAā, which is listed as a demo, has an easy familiarity about it that fans will love and itās a little Dan + Shay like. āNothing To Do With Youā is the stronger of the two new tracks and itās a heartfelt ballad that showcases Crandallās abilities as a vocalist.
āLost in the Wildā is the perfect companion to āWildernessā. Itās always a treat to hear variations and additional songs that didnāt make the original cut for a record. The EP shows that Crandall could take his music in a number of directions as heās got the versatility to be able to pull it off. Hopefully weāll get to hear more alternate versions before Crandall moves on to a new record!
