NASHVILLE, TN (April 14, 2023) — Hailing from Australia, Bradley McCaw is the ultimate multi-hyphen artist with global credits across music, theater, performance and composition. Today, he delivers the lead single “I Want You Back” — a romantic retro groove, inspired by LA legends Toto and Boz Scaggs — from his debut album, Worried Minds, due for release on Friday, June 23.
Hypnotically soulful and exquisitely catchy, the track will have you unwittingly tapping your foot and grooving to the beat. With lyrics illustrating the universally relatable feeling of wanting a romantic partner back, the track is a love letter trying to explore the feeling we can’t articulate to those we love, all while the instrumental arrangement rises and falls along with the emotion in the lyrics, creating a musical world unlike anything else being released today.
Worried Minds is an eclectic mix of songs showcasing a breadth of songwriting ability from McCaw, with his captivating voice front and center. The record is produced by L.A. session legend, member of the acclaimed The Wrecking Crew and guitarist Louie Shelton who has worked with Lionel Richie, Marvin Gaye, Whitney Houston, Neil Diamond among many others. Also featured on the album is bass player Nathan East, founding member of contemporary jazz group Fourplay, who has collaborated with legendary artists such as Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins and Stevie Wonder and more.
After writing several successful musical productions in Australia, McCaw is now best known for his music as an award-winning singer/songwriter, combining blue-eyed soul and the essence of Motown with rock-n-roll energy and catchy pop melodies, all of which are ever present on Worried Minds. Having released five singles in the past year, he’s expanded his audience to over 80 different countries, gained attention on major Australian TV networks, charted top ten on the iTunes Charts, performed a sold out show in New York City and reached over 2.5 million streams on his videos on Facebook alone.
It wasn’t until four years after recording the albums original band sessions with Louie Shelton and a slew of local musicians in the studio when the pandemic hit, that McCaw realized he, like many people, had lost his way and couldn’t remember what dream he was chasing anymore. “I needed a new beginning. And being made to stop gave me a reset button or a second chance,” McCaw admits. “I knew it was time to finish this project and create music like my idols. The music that helped me find joy in my own life.” And that he did.
