Corden Barrett bares his soul on love song

Recording artiste Corden Barrett sings about love on his new single How Long Will You Stay Away, which was released on October 16.

"It's a love song about a guy missing the love of his life who had walked away from their relationship. He is crying out for her to come home, while reminiscing on when they were together; and now he's asking how she will stay away. In essence, it can apply to anyone missing someone," the artiste explained.

Expressing many emotions, the song tells a captivating story, while showcasing the artiste's voice in a beautiful way. He spoke about the song's genesis.

"Years ago, while living in Jamaica, I was building beats for another producer, Ariff Butler from Bloozik Music. While making a specific beat, he suggested I write a song to the beat and record it. I did it, but the project didn't go far. So forward to the present, I decided to relaunch the song, and here we are today," the artiste elaborated.

"My hope is that the song becomes a big hit around the world. I know most, if not everyone, can relate to the storyline. So as I make my mark in the music industry, this is one of the songs people will remember," he added.

Barrett wears many hats musically. He has mastered his main instruments, the keyboard and saxophone, but is also a vocal coach, music teacher, songwriter, music producer and arranger. In addition to owning his label, he is also the owner of Heavyunit Apparel.

Most recently, he released an instrumental song, North Coast, and the 'Retro Vybz' rhythm, on which he is featured, along with Hazard Poshgad and Singdi. Other projects include Ghetto Life and True Story by Mxdical, and Busy Busy (God Is All Around) by Terri Ann Johnson.

"I have a number of projects in the pipeline, so I will just be putting in the work and aim towards success. I always say the sky is just the beginning," the artiste stated.
