About the single, Liz says “Charcoal On A Canvas” Is a song about wanting to get to know a person on a deeper level. I want to start by sketching him on my canvas because I am intrigued by his shadows (the things that he hides) and what his truth may be. As I continue to pursue him he questions everything that I say and resists my advances. Perhaps he doesn’t want me to really know him?”
Graham is now back in the studio finishing up her sophomore CD which will be released in 2015.
