Today’s song is “Leather Shoes” by Taylor Tucker. The New York City singer/songwriter takes inspiration from artists like Sara Bareilles and Lily Allen and has created a humorous and catchy soulful pop anthem. With a comical style and heart on her sleeve style, this songstress doesn’t take herself too seriously. What has resulted is a whimsical and fun-loving nature throughout her music.
She has a wit and confidence that shines through in this soulful pop jam. Listeners will enjoy her music and have a good time.
She draws on personal experiences for her music and this song stemmed from a comical exchange with a fellow who didn’t seem to understand what “not interested” means.
Taylor says, “the inspiration for ‘Leather Shoes’ came when I was at a bar in Manhattan – a place where the suits, ties, and leather shoes strut through by the dozen. A guy approached me at a bar with some funky white leather shoes and stories to tell for days. His home run move was when he tried to impress me with how wealthy he was (total turn on), notes Taylor. But what really tipped me over the edge was when he asked the bartender to ‘get this little lady a drink of Goose on the rocks’. Um, hi, I’m not little. And I don’t want a drink.”
This is the title track from her debut EP which was recorded, mixed, and mastered at SwitchBitch Studios in Park Slope. The Leather Shoes EP features Alex Nauth (Foxy Shazam, The Skulx) and is set for release on July 15th, 2016.
