Country Singer Taylor Goyette Didn’t Feel His Songs Were “Genuine”
Country music is a very sincere and authentic art. And Taylor Goyette didn’t feel he was hitting the mark.
Since releasing his song “Show Goes On,” Goyette has been “wrestling” with who he is as an artist. “While I think my last few releases were cool songs, they just didn’t feel authentic or genuine to who I am or what I do,” he explained.
The singer believes he “fell prey to” the “urge” of writing songs for the sake of engagement. “In doing so, [I] abandoned my true artistry in exchange for just wanting something to succeed.”
Goyette said that in writing songs for the sake of success, a “darkness” followed. “I started to feel more like a dark cloud in an already dark world – when instead, I’d rather be a light.”
“From here on out, I’ll be sharing music that comes from my heart and soul,” he said.
His fans have been very supportive with his latest mindset, and wish him the best.
