MacKenzie Bourg releases his new single Heartbeat
Glitter Magazine recently sat down with MacKenzie Bourg to talk about the new single releasing on November 11th, his evolution in music since appearing on The Voice and his new EP. Read on to find out more about this talented voice!
GLITTER: How would you describe “Heartbeat” in music terms?
MACKENZIE: “Heartbeat” is an acoustic driven, upbeat love song. It’s a touch of folk, singer-songwriter, and pop all mixed into one. There’s a chanty tag I wrote to it that all the kids seem to love nowadays, haha! Once you hear the record it’ll leave you feeling better than you did before!
GLITTER: What inspired the new single, “Heartbeat”?
MACKENZIE: Someone I feel really strongly about inspired the song, but I actually wrote it sitting on the couch one night and it turned into my favorite song off the EP. It’s a love song hidden behind a great upbeat record.
GLITTER: Will there be a video for “Heartbeat” and is there a special story tied to it that the fans may want to know about?
MACKENZIE: There’s a video set for Heartbeat. The director hasn’t been selected yet, but one thing is for sure that it will be a great video!
GLITTER: What can we expect from your new EP?
MACKENZIE: A mix of acoustic sounds with upbeat pop music. I call it organic pop. It’s all fun. I had a part in writing all the songs in some aspect on it, so these songs are all my efforts into one EP.
GLITTER: When will the new EP be released?
MACKENZIE: The exact date isn’t set just yet but I imagine in a month or less!
GLITTER: How has your sound evolved since appearing on The Voice?
MACKENZIE: I’ve grown as a musician a lot. The Voice cornered me into a certain genre in some aspects, but I found that once I got back to knowing who I was as an artist the music really started to flow and sound exactly like what I was hearing in my heart.
GLITTER: How would you explain your evolution in music since appearing on The Voice?
MACKENZIE: My sound is more focused on the musicality of the songs. A lot of efforts went into the EP and I spent a whole bunch of time and energy making sure this was exactly right. Everything you hear has a purpose, a reason, and a meaning. I’m proud to stamp my name behind this record.
GLITTER: Will you be touring once the new EP is released?
MACKENZIE: I plan on doing some west coast dates, as well as some dates back home in Louisiana. I’m open to shows anywhere!
