Carson Ferris releases new single “FOMO”

Coming out of Provo in Utah, Carson Ferris is fast becoming one of pop’s freshest young talents. At just fourteen years old, Carson has demonstrated an impressive ability to craft memorable indie pop tracks that connect with fans far beyond his local community. His early success, formed by a clear vision and musical maturity, hints at a promising future for this young star.

He first stepped out into the music world in 2021 with his debut single, “Can’t Be Without You,” a collaboration with the popular artist Trinidad Cardona. The track was a hit, not only revealing Carson’s potential but also earning him a significant fan base and later that year, he won a social media contest leading to one of his videos being featured in Donny Osmond’s Las Vegas show.

Building on this momentum, he’s since delivered an impressive catalogue of releases while racking up over a million spins on Spotify alone. Last year he dropped five singles leading up to his debut EP, Talkin’ to You and in 2024, he’s continuing to impress with well-received new material.

Now he brings us his latest release with his brand new single titled “FOMO,” infectious pop track that reflects his personal life in a deeply relatable way. Produced by longtime collaborator and mentor MYKYL, “FOMO” explores the concept of priorities and the sacrifices Carson has made in pursuit of his musical dreams. Drawing on his own experiences, he uses the track to highlight the balance between following one’s passion and the fear of missing out on the typical teenage experiences.

Brought in by lively acoustic guitar flutters, Caron’s smooth vocal leads enter to thread catchy pop melodies and picture painting lyricism into the bright musical fabric. Developing with deep bass textures and dashes of grooving percussion, his voice soars with shimmering quality above, resulting in an epic pop anthem packed full of thumping rhythms in the chorus and stunning vocal performance.

Flowing from moments of dreamy stripped-back piano-led moments to the high-octane charge of the choruses, it’s another spectacular showcase of the artist’s songwriting talent. With slick ebb and flow from the drums cutting out and building the energy back up, “FOMO” sees Carson Ferris present a thrilling modern pop hit as he continues to go from strength to strength with each move.

On the new single, he offers, “FOMO is a song about the fear of missing out. It’s a song about priorities, making decisions, and figuring out what matters most to you and choosing that, even if it means missing out on other things. This can apply to a lot of things, but what I specifically wrote FOMO about is choosing to do music instead of being a normal teenager. We all come across hard decisions in our lives that will lead to missing out on something.”
