A 13-Year-Old Prodigy Takes Us Back to the Landlines, Mix-tapes, and Boy Bands of the '90s with His New Single "1999"
At just 13 years old, Carson Ferris has already set himself apart as a musical prodigy, and his latest single, "1999," only solidifies that reputation. This nostalgia-filled bop instantly transports you to a simpler era, replete with mix-tapes, landlines, and iconic boy bands like *NSYNC and The Backstreet Boys.
Capturing the '90s Essence
Producer Mykyl meticulously crafted "1999" to not just reference but embody the spirit of the late '90s. Drawing inspiration from artists like Britney Spears and even the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the song creates a time capsule that still feels fresh and current.
An Old Soul in a Young Body
Carson has been hailed as an old soul, and it shows. "People often call me an old soul, and '1999' reflects that in a really cool way," says Carson. The track explores themes of feeling out of place and the yearning to exist in a different era, making it more than just a danceable tune—it's also an emotive narrative.
"'1999' talks about feeling out of place, but it’s also a reminder that you can always find someone who understands what you’re going through, so you feel a little less alone." - Carson Ferris
Impressive Collaborations
The songwriting team behind "1999" is nothing short of impressive. With contributions from Paulina "PAU" Cerrilla, Nate Jolley, Michael Van Wagoner, and Carson himself, the single was mixed by Adam Turley, mastered by Eric Disero, and vocally produced by Jen Marco.
Upcoming Projects
Carson is showing no signs of slowing down. With his previous hit "Crazy" and a video feature in Donny Osmond’s Las Vegas show, Carson is set to continue his musical journey, diving deeper into his influences from Journey, OneRepublic, and solo acts like Ed Sheeran.
