By Christian Lamitschka for Country Music News International Magazine
Savannah Dean Reeves has unveiled her latest offering, a deeply personal and emotionally resonant track titled “How About You.” This self-penned tune is a raw and honest exploration of the tumultuous journey of healing after a separation, capturing the whirlwind of thoughts and emotions that accompany the process of moving on. With its poignant lyrics and heartfelt delivery, “How About You” offers an intimate glimpse into the complexities of letting go and the universal experience of navigating the uncertain terrain of heartbreak.
For anyone who has ever grappled with the aftermath of a broken connection, Reeves’ words will strike a powerful chord. The song meticulously weaves through the familiar tapestry of post-separation thoughts: the nagging curiosity about the other person’s life, the introspective examination of one’s own feelings, and the gradual, often painful, acceptance of a new reality. Driven by the potent combination of lingering emotions, vivid memories, and the unsettling ambiguity of the future, “How About You” doesn’t shy away from the messy, non-linear path of healing.
Savannah Dean Reeves herself eloquently describes the genesis of the song and its intended impact: “My newest release is deeply relatable to anyone who has gone through a separation. How About You captures the whirlwind of thoughts—wondering what the other person is doing, questioning emotions, and trying to make sense of everything. I wrote this song because we all think and wonder, and there’s no right or wrong way to process our emotions. When you go through something difficult, you rarely get the answers you want or need—and that uncertainty can be overwhelming. While writing, I realized that my thoughts, emotions, and memories became the song. I hope listeners genuinely feel the emotion behind How About You. I want it to remind people that overthinking is human and there’s no perfect way to navigate our feelings. More than anything, I want this to be a song that people scream at the top of their lungs—because sometimes, that’s the only way to let it all out.”
This raw honesty and vulnerability are palpable in the track’s emotional core. Reeves doesn’t attempt to sugarcoat the pain or offer easy answers. Instead, she lays bare the internal struggle, the questions that linger in the silence, and the yearning for understanding that often goes unanswered. The power of the song lies in its relatability, its acknowledgment that the process of moving on is rarely clean or linear, and that the act of overthinking is a natural part of the human experience.
“How About You” was brought to life under the production expertise of Matt McQueen and Curtis Leiser at Gem City Studio in Jellico, TN. The studio musicians who contributed to the single include Evan Hammons on drums, Curtis Lieser on guitar, and Bryn Dawson providing background vocals. These instrumental contributions undoubtedly enhance the emotional landscape of the song, providing a sonic backdrop that underscores the lyrical weight and Reeves’ heartfelt delivery.
