Coming out of Provo in Utah, Carson Ferris is a rising pop sensation with a musical output that’s truly impressive considering he’s only fourteen years old. Despite his young age, he’s already demonstrated a remarkable ability to craft hook-filled indie pop that connects deeply with fans around the globe.
His journey into the music scene began in 2021 with his debut single, âCanât Be Without You,â a notable collaboration with Trinidad Cardona. This early success was amplified by a social media contest win that led to one of his videos being featured in Donny Osmondâs Las Vegas show, highlighting his potential from the outset.
Ferris continued to build on this momentum with his sophomore single, âFavorite Time of Year,â released in November that year. This track earned significant attention and racked up hundreds of thousands of streams on Spotify. His live performances at various festivals in Utah, including Fork Fest and Buzzards and Bees, have further showcased his ability to win over audiences, all while he writes and records new material.
2023 proved to be a true breakout year for Carson Ferris, with the release of five singles leading up to his debut EP, Talkinâ to You. Now he follows up the success of his EP release, bringing us his first release of the year with his brand new single titled “Ghosts.” The production of the new track also marks the artist’s first collaboration with producer Matthew Parker.
âGhostsâ is an upbeat and instantly infectious electronic pop outing that juxtaposes an uplifting vibe and danceable rhythm with a heavier, more poignant meaning. The central theme of the song is powerful and relatable; forgiving someone for their transgressions does not necessarily mean they need to remain a part of your life. This message is delivered with emotional clarity and resonates deeply with listeners who may find themselves in similar circumstances.
Drawing from personal experiences and keen observations, Carson has crafted a song that speaks to those entangled in toxic or unhealthy relationships or situations, delivered via his spectacular vocal performance and backed by a stunning synth-driven arrangement.
Commenting on the single, he shares, “Ghosts is a song about letting go and moving on from situations and people that aren’t good for you. In the bridge, the lyrics say that moving on is the only way things can be ok. That’s definitely true. All that holding on to things like that will do is cause more resentment. Sometimes that can be really hard to do, but it’s a necessary part of life that we can all relate to. And I think forgiveness is an important part of moving on, so I put a lot of emphasis on that in Ghosts. You can’t let go until you forgive, even if it seems easier to hold a grudge.”
