UPSAHL
- The Other Team (Lyric)
Over
the rich sonic backdrop on “The Other Team”, UPSAHL
croons a story about “a boy who seems too good to be true”
before the clever and catchy chorus chant—“Swinging, swinging,
swinging for the other team.” The song explores feelings
of unrequited love and missed connections translated into vivid
verses and a relatable chorus.
“I wrote ‘The Other Team’ on the last day of a month-long
writing trip,” says UPSAHL. “A few minutes into the session,
the concept just sort of came to me, ‘Everyone can relate to
being into someone that they know they can’t have’.”
With its gleeful union of indie spirit, charming lyricism, and
pop ambition, the song heralds the forthcoming arrival of her
2019 EP.
Before even graduating high school, UPSAHL wrote and
released a self-titled EP, which gained much-deserved recognition
throughout the Phoenix music scene. A graduate of the Arizona
School for the Arts, a performing arts middle/high school, UPSAHL
continued to hone her craft, while being classically trained
on piano, guitar and choir every day.
