The follow up to last month’s upbeat folk gem
El Cortez,
Plans Upon Plans reflects Natalie Del Carmen’s early drive to push forward and carve her own path. The song shows how we tend to make plans for everything: jobs, where we want to be in life at a certain time, etc. However it later shows that the best things in life come without warning, with no plans at all.
Plans Upon Plans blends heartfelt songwriting with a soulful, warm soundscape, layering organ, fiddle, and the soft brush of guitar strings to create a rooted resonance. I am loving her rich, expressive vocals and how they are nicely backed by intricate guitar and banjo plucks, subtle percussive beats, lush fiddle and piano keys that come together to create an overall warm, intimate atmosphere!
Speaking about the song, Natalie Del Carmen said,
The weight of carving your own path is heavy, especially when that path doesn’t always make sense to the people around you. It’s the kind of pressure that’s passed down, the kind you put on yourself, and the kind that makes you want to prove everyone wrong. In all of that, though, it’s also about thanking anyone who’s ever bet on me. Writing ‘Plans Upon Plans’ felt like finally admitting there were heavy cracks in my belief system,” she reflects. “I realized the best things in life come without warning, and surely, no plan at all.
