Virginia-based five-some band Parachute got a taste of success when they released their debut single "She Is Love," which became a Adult Contemporary radio staple, and the video was the belle of the VH1 ball last May. As a part of their first major tour following the release of debut studio album, "Losing Sleep" in the summer of 2009, they have been touring with artists such as 3 Doors Down, The Script, Secondhand Serenade, and Kelly Clarkson.Things continue to head in a musical skyward direction for this Island Def Jam/Mercury alt-soul rockers. After the debut album release of "Losing Sleep," the band saw luck and raised it bundles of talent, and now follow-up "She Is Love" with a second music video off of their album "Losing Sleep" for their latest rich melody-laden tune "The Mess I Made," with director Brad Furman in Los Angeles features actress Jennifer Lawrence.
Soulful rock is served up on a delicious platter in new video for the melancholy track about love lost and regret. Working out "romantic ideals and the frustration of real life" are certainly conditions most people can relate to. "'The Mess I Made' deals with the regret and looking back on a failed relationship. Its video is currently generating a lot of good heat for the band." says band's vocals Will Anderson. When asked whether he thought songwriting is a kind of poetry, Anderson admits, "Yeah, it is. Sometimes my songs are very literal and sometimes they are very straight. Other times they are more poetic. For me it depends on the song and the situation."
Sufficed to say, I immediately fell in love with this album and it's been on heavy rotation on my iTunes play-list ever since. Parachute is definitely "in the zone" for me. I've been following them since I heard their debut single, "She Is Love" last May. Fortunately, "The Mess I Made" is still about giving compliments to a girl and literally about something a guy would regret for letting the girl he loves and all that. Well, it's still very straight to the heart which I mostly find on all Parachute songs.
