S. Carey shares new single "Waking Up"

S. Carey announced his upcoming solo album Break Me Open last month with the title-track, and has released the second single "Waking Up" today (9 March), which is teamed with a live video directed by Knorth Studios and Ivy Media that was filmed at The Hive in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Break Me Open will follow S. Carey's 2018 solo album Hundred Acres.

S. Carey says, "Change is good. Fucking hard, but good. For many, to say the last two years have been difficult would be an understatement. Stress and uncertainty about life in general, family, friends, kids, even Mother Earth has grown exponentially. There is a heaviness to human consciousness right now, a darkness at the surface."

"Break Me Open is about love - past, present, and future," S. Carey continues. "It’s about fatherhood - the overwhelming feeling of deep love for my kids and the melancholy of watching them grow up right before my eyes. It’s about accepting my faults and wrongdoings, exposing myself, and trying to know myself better than I did the day before. But above the darkness, it’s a message of hope, honesty, and growth. It’s a call to be vulnerable: Break Me Open."
