about

"Make You Stay" was originally released as a single in December 2020

This new mix was created exclusively for this album by Matt Waddell in January 2021

"..."Make You Stay", have no doubts, is a very fine song..., Kenzie & Matt have decided to reflect the truthfulness in the song by admirable restraint in the arrangement and production: too much of either & we'd be less inclined to focus on the words & message. Essentially built over her own gentle piano playing, it's Kenzie's voice we notice the most & she has a voice which has the confidence & qualities to thrive without the need for a big production. Warm & sympathetic, it shows as much empathy as it does concern: let's face it, this is a song wherein an adolescent attempts to pull a friend back from the brink of self harm without the life experience to easily do this nor even being there to comfort in person. What a task. In the end, the love & wisdom imparted is a pretty decent shot at it & although the lyrics make it abundantly clear that this relates to a specific incident, I think, like all well written songs, it can apply to other people & other situations.

This story is central & one naturally focuses in upon it. Nevertheless, despite the (apparent) simplicity of the arrangement, there are many neat & subtle elements in there which keep variation going in the accompaniment to the narrative: tasteful string sounds in particular & shifts in dynamics so that the emotional tone rises & falls during its course" ("Hot Music Live")
