In her moving new single "I'm Ready," Vancouver singer-songwriter Danielle Schroeder takes us deep into the complex emotions of the human heart, where acceptance and longing often clash. This is the second single from her eagerly awaited upcoming album, "Later is Here," set to release this June. The song has already started to resonate with listeners who are open to its heartfelt message.
Recorded at Monarch Studios and produced by Aaron Klassen, "I'm Ready" beautifully balances holding back and letting go. With the support of her bandmates, Jeremiah Schneider and Paolo Pietropaolo, Danielle delivers a truly genuine performance, a signature quality of hers, but this time, it feels even more raw and sincere. The lyrics highlight a powerful realization, when we think we're ready to move on from past hurt or relationships, we often find that those feelings aren't mutual, or worse, we start to question if we're ready at all. One of the most captivating aspects of the song is Danielle's unique vocal style. She doesn't need to shout to get her message across, she conveys her feelings with quiet intensity, making every word feel deeply personal. Her voice carries a mix of desperation and grace, highlighting the delicate and liberating nature of the truth.
The overall sound of the song is both personal and expansive, allowing every lyric and note to resonate fully. Aaron Klassen's production adds a subtle yet powerful touch, ensuring that the instruments support rather than overpower Danielle's vocals, making it clear just how much emotion she is conveying.
