Pacific Northwest artist and technologist Cary Sholer is set to release his profoundly personal Country single, “Dear, Heart It’s Time,” a track that offers an intimate letter of self-resilience and the difficult necessity of letting go.
Rooted deeply in the American tradition of honest, story-driven songwriting, the single consciously strips away the typical over-production of modern radio. Sholer opts for an organic, spacious, and emotionally direct sound, focusing the listener entirely on the track’s core message: healing old wounds. Sholer shares, “I wanted the production to feel like that transition—starting fragile and resolving into strength.”
Distinguishing itself from the industry’s “Loudness War,” “Dear, Heart It’s Time” was produced using an audiophile-grade, high-resolution workflow in Pro Tools. This technical precision ensures exceptional dynamic range and spatial depth, appealing directly to listeners who value sonic clarity as much as lyrical depth.
This Country/Americana ballad connects the dust of Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash with the nuanced precision of modern high-fidelity recording, making it an essential listen for fans of authentic, warm storytelling, including those who appreciate the sound of artists like Sturgill Simpson.
