NASHVILLE, TENN. — Singer-songwriter, Adam Chaffins released an acoustic version of his original song, “Her,” on all digital stream platforms Friday. The Lawrence County native is classically trained and plays multiple instruments, including the bass, guitar and piano, and also sings and writes songs. He has also written songs for other singers. “Her” was originally presented on Chaffin’s debut album, “Some Things Won’t Last,” which was released Feb. 21. The song had been released previously as a single Aug. 23, 2019.
The official music video for “Her” was exclusively premiered by Billboard in November 2019 and then garnered positive fan interaction by being voted in the CMT Music 12-pack countdown for eight consecutive weeks, landing at the No. 1 slot on Feb. 21, coinciding with the release of the album.
The release of the new version of “Her” is the first in a series of acoustic tracks Chaffins will release this year. All songs are alternate versions of tracks from the “Some Things Won’t Last” album. “Her” is a journey through the emotional rite of passage from true love to loss. “Though it is a dream to record with string sections, big-room sounding drums and layers of sound, I love when you can break things down to its purest form,” Chaffins said in a press release announcing the acoustic version’s release. “Recording ‘Her’ was really all about capturing a performance. We didn’t even use headphones when we were recording. I’m excited for this version, which has completely different lighting, to be heard.” Chaffin’s next release in his acoustic track series is scheduled for mid-summer.
