With the release of her new single "I'm Ready" from her upcoming album, "Later is Here" Danielle Schroeder presents a powerful and emotional anthem that speaks to profound truths and the struggles we all face. The song, released today, feels like a moment of reflection and honesty.
Hailing from Vancouver, Danielle is recognized for her gentle lyrics and exceptional vocal quality. "I'm Ready" was recorded with talented producer Aaron Klassen and her longtime collaborators, Jeremiah Schneider and Paolo Pietropaolo. The result is a track that feels both personal and grand, like a quiet yet profound conversation in a spacious setting. "I'm Ready" has an undercurrent of urgency. Yet, Danielle's voice doesn't plead, it confidently asserts its message. The song captures the complicated feelings that come with moving on, posing a poignant question, while she declares readiness, we wonder if the memories from the past are ready to be left behind. This uncertainty adds a layer. What makes "I'm Ready" so appealing is its depth combined with simplicity. The song doesn't build to a dramatic explosion or rely on flashy production. Instead, it unfolds gradually, much like a meaningful realization. The instruments, including gentle guitar, soft keyboards, and emotional percussion, create space for each word to resonate.
Danielle's collaborators play a crucial role in crafting a sound that supports the song's message without overshadowing it. They maintain a steady presence that allows her vocals to shine. You can truly feel the tension in her voice as she balances between readiness and hesitation, loss and beauty. "I'm Ready" beautifully captures the complexity of these emotions.
