Eighty Ninety Releases New Song “The Hard Way”
Brooklyn-based sibling duo Eighty Ninety, consisting of Abner James (vocals/production) and Harper James (guitar/production), released a new song “The Hard Way” on September 8, 2023.
The song is the fourth single off of their upcoming debut album, which is expected to be released later this year.
The track was written by Abner James, Harper James, and Sarah Troy. Produced by Eighty Ninety.
The duo said of the song, “'The Hard Way' is about choosing to love someone no matter how much life intervenes. It's about being brave enough to make the choice to completely commit to a person, no matter the risk. It's about looking directly at all your fears about how things could go wrong and knowing that even if they all come to pass, it's still worth it.”- They continued, “With the production we tried to evoke the sense of the relationship being increasingly tested by life, increasing the instrumentation with every chorus, almost like we are trying to break the song. But it holds — and by the end we're hoping the swelling percussion and harmonies feel uplifting; there's beauty in hope.”
The duo recently released a project titled “Bowery Beach Road”, a collection of past singles & previously unreleased demos. The project commemorated Eighty Ninety's “first era” of music, as they head towards the release of their debut album. -
