This Friday, Logan Brill and Emily Hackett will release their new track ‘The Space.’ The Destination Country team are proud to premiere the track ahead of the release tomorrow.
Tomorrow, two incredible rising talents Logan Brill and Emily Hackett, are set to release their new track, written and performed in lockdown called ‘The Space.’ The Destination Country network are thrilled to be able to share with you an exclusive premiere of the video, a haunting and beautiful adage to this stunning track, exploring what it means to be human right now. Of the track, Logan Brill says “When the quarantine hit, it was the first time in years I wasn’t jetting off somewhere to play music. All that stillness felt really unfamiliar to me, and brought on a lot of questions. Ultimately the idea for “The Space” came from a place of personal reflection, but when I pitched it to Emily and Jason I realized that they were wrestling with the same questions. I think we were able to create a moment of togetherness for ourselves in writing and recording the song, even though we were only able to collaborate through our screens. I hope it brings listeners a little comfort, knowing that these feelings of loss and uncertainty are collective. We’re all in this together.“

Each of the writers had something different to say about the song and its origins. Emily paid credit to Logan in her description the track, ‘She came in with the whole concept and melody—this gorgeous pairing of soulful piano ballad and the sincere missing of someone creating a space in everyday life that you were desperate to fill. It’s a patient and powerful song in this hard season of life. I hope it reminds people that we are all feeling this in one way or another.“
The track explores the feelings and complicated emotions, every human is undergoing right now, so Jason Lehning detailed “My favourite thing about making music is the togetherness it creates for the people making it. When we all had to isolate, there was this sudden heavy feeling of “Well what now? What do I do with these empty chairs? And why bother?” So when Logan shared this idea and me and her and Emily were all sitting in empty rooms in different houses looking at each other on screens, I thought “ok, there it is! We can do this!” And it was a great moment of finding togetherness and making something beautiful out of it.
‘The Space’ is available to download everywhere tomorrow.
