From the moment the first notes of Better Together play, it’s evident that Alexandra and CT Fields have poured their hearts into this project. The EP stands as a testament to their belief that “we are better as songwriters, artists, human beings, and as a couple because of each other.” The duo’s harmonious blend of heartfelt storytelling and dynamic melodies proves that their union is a source of strength and inspiration.
In their own words, the Fields explain, “With Better Together, we wanted to take the best songs that we have written to date and make a true duo record. We wanted to say that we are better as songwriters, artists, human beings, and as a couple because of each other. And we really wanted to showcase that.” This sentiment is evident throughout the EP, as each track reflects their shared experiences and mutual support.
Creating Better Together was no small feat. Touring over 200 days a year across 15 countries as independent artists is an intense and demanding lifestyle. Yet, for Willow Hill, the challenge is met with gratitude and enthusiasm. “How cool is it to create art and work with the person you love and respect the most on earth? We count our blessings every day,” they share. This perspective is woven into the fabric of the EP, making it a genuine celebration of their partnership.
The duo’s dedication to their craft is apparent in every aspect of Better Together. With over 50 songs written in the past year, narrowing them down to the final five tracks was a daunting task. However, Willow Hill’s meticulous selection process ensures that each song on the EP is a reflection of their artistic journey and resonates with their fans. “We don’t have fans, we have family,” they say, and this EP is a heartfelt tribute to that familial connection.
The collaborative effort behind Better Together is nothing short of extraordinary. The Fields express their deep appreciation for their team, acknowledging that “nothing gets done without a great team around you.” The EP features the remarkable talents of Nashville session players like Scotty Sanders, Craig Young, and Kyle Pudenz, as well as the exceptional contributions of Justin Ostrander and Mark Lonsway. Their combined expertise has elevated the EP to new heights, creating a rich and diverse musical landscape.
The sonic diversity of Better Together is a testament to Willow Hill’s ability to blend various influences into their own unique sound. From the introspective lead-off track “Whiskey or Wine” to the lighthearted and fun “You Ain’t From Around Here” and “Shake What Your Mama Gave Ya,” the EP offers something for everyone. Lets not forget that their previously released "I Still Drink About You," is a welcomed addition to the project. Finally the thoughtful closer, “Brick and Mortar Man,” showcases the duo’s storytelling prowess, offering a poignant reflection on the everyday man’s experiences.
The Fields’ voices intertwine seamlessly throughout the EP, creating a tapestry of sound that highlights their individual strengths while celebrating their collective brilliance. Their chemistry is palpable, making each song a genuine expression of their partnership and artistry. As they put it, “We think Better Together is the best thing we have ever written or recorded, and we are over the moon about its release.”
To accompany the EP, Willow Hill collaborated with Island Media Company to film two breathtaking music videos in the US Virgin Islands, adding a visual dimension to their musical journey. Perk PR in Nashville has also played a crucial role in promoting the record and sharing the duo’s music with the world.
In a world where individualism often takes center stage, Better Together serves as a refreshing reminder of the power of collaboration and connection. Willow Hill’s latest EP is a celebration of love, partnership, and the joy of creating music with someone who understands and supports you. As the Fields beautifully express, “Despite our differences and unique perspectives, we are all Better Together.”
So, if you’re looking for an EP that combines musical excellence with heartfelt storytelling, Better Together is a must-listen. Willow Hill’s newest work is not just an album; it’s a testament to the beauty of shared experiences and the magic of working together with the one you love.
