A Journey of Authenticity and Vulnerability
In a recent statement, Tyndall explained the significance of this album, noting that it was crucial for each song to resonate with her life as it stands today. “It was important for each of these songs to relate to my life as it is now so that this album could be as authentic as possible,” she said. “I’ve been waiting and working patiently for years, molding my craft, and trusting the process to get to this moment.” Tyndall’s transparency in her music is bound to connect with listeners, as she opens up about the experiences and emotions that have shaped her.
“Crystal Methodist” — A Song Full of Charm and Wit
Alongside the album announcement, Tyndall released “Crystal Methodist,” a song that highlights her distinctive blend of wit and country storytelling. The track explores the dynamics of a small town where everyone harbors secrets, yet it’s a place that feels perfect despite its imperfections. Tyndall shared, “’Crystal Methodist’ is the story of a typical hometown where everyone has skeletons in the closet. A place where nobody’s perfect, but it’s perfect just the way it is at the same time. It’s quickly becoming one of my favorites to play live because without fail, the stage comes alive every time my band and I perform it in front of an audience.”
The accompanying music video for “Crystal Methodist” perfectly captures the playful and lively essence of the song. Featuring comedians Brittany Smith and Justin Stagner, the video follows Tyndall as she prepares for a backyard BBQ that’s soon filled with a variety of quirky town characters. These include “preachers, cheaters, homeroom teachers, county records, backroad tweakers, nosey neighbors, moonshine makers, dealers and believers,” all of whom contribute to the charm and chaos of the small town setting.
