The Scotland based artist was due to be releasing an album this year, but opted against it as a result of the pandemic and subsequently being unable to promote it in a normal fashion, so is instead releasing an EP.
Speaking about the decision to cover Let’s Stay Home Tonight, Watt heaped praise on NEEDTOBREATHE’s musical style and also shared some meaning behind the video.
“I thought it would be fun to portray the reality of putting on a live stream show and the minutes leading up to it; albeit with a little twist,” Watt said. “Getting creative with music videos at home has been really fun and challenging; it’s amazing what you can make with a few house hold items and a half decent camera!
“NEEDTOBREATHE’s music is a perfect blend of country, rock and pop – three of the genres prominent in my upcoming album. I loved the idea of doing a stripped back acoustic cover song with some country style picking and harmonies inspired by Southern American acts like The Chicks and Little Big Town.”
Kerri Watt had a very successful 2019, with a support slot for Keith Urban on his first UK appearance in over a decade, while she also starred at C2C 2019.
