In a bid to calm nerves, unite people, and do some good, country musician and former 91原创 resident Kellen Saip is releasing a new single called 鈥淲e are All in This Together.鈥�
Saip called upon dozens of friends from the music industry to take part in recording the tune, which will help raise money for charity.
鈥淭he idea generated from the different feelings and emotions that came with the restrictions and isolation that was felt during this pandemic,鈥� Saip told the 91原创 Advance Times. 鈥淚 wanted to use my time in isolation to bring something positive to the world in these trying times.鈥�
Saip said he personally felt lost without having the ability to play music to an audience.
After teaming up with producer and engineer Jordain Culpepper, Saip said he realized his song 鈥� written about his own personal struggles 鈥� seemed to contain a universal feeling.
鈥淎s hard as this has been to be isolated and not know when I will be able perform again, I came to realize how important community, friends and family really are in the whole big picture, not just my personal life,鈥� Saip explained.
