ABOUT ERINA

ERINA MCLAREN IS A SINGER-SONGWRITER FROM TACOMA, WASHINGTON, WHOSE MUSIC SEAMLESSLY BLENDS AMERICANA AND SOULFUL COUNTRY INFLUENCES WITH DEEPLY INTROSPECTIVE LYRICS DRAWN FROM HER OWN LIFE EXPERIENCES. HER SONGS EXPLORE THEMES OF SELF-DISCOVERY, LOVE, LOSS, AND PERSONAL GROWTH, OFFERING A RAW AND HONEST REFLECTION OF HER JOURNEY. DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM A WIDE ARRAY OF GENRES— INCLUDING FOLK, INDIE, COUNTRY, AND SOUL—ERINA’S SOUND IS MARKED BY LUSH, ATMOSPHERIC PRODUCTION, HEARTFELT MELODIES, AND COMPELLING RHYTHMS THAT DRIVE HER NARRATIVES FORWARD. WITH EACH TRACK, LISTENERS ARE DRAWN TO THE VULNERABILITY AND AUTHENTICITY THAT DEFINE HER MUSIC, CREATING A POWERFUL CONNECTION THAT RESONATES LONG AFTER THE SONG ENDS. 

SONG DESCRIPTION: 

I WROTE 'OH MY LOVE' AS A WAY TO PROCESS THE GRIEF MY FAMILY AND I EXPERIENCED FOLLOWING SOME PROFOUND LOSSES IN 2023. AMONG THEM WAS THE LOSS OF A COUPLE WHO AFTER DECADES OF MARRIAGE, PASSED WITHIN MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. THIS SONG IS ABOUT THE ONES WE’VE LOVED AND LOST, BUT WHO RETURN TO US IN OUR DREAMS, REMINDING US THAT THEIR PRESENCE LINGERS EVEN AFTER THEY’RE GONE.
