Nova Scotia’s Aaron MacDonald shares new single, “My Heart’s A Little Bit Older Now”
“My Heart’s A Little Bit Older Now” is a catchy, summer banger that taps into MacDonald’s country soul sound.
Steeped in his honky-tonk upbringing, the ECMA and Music NS Nominee, has seasoned his sound into a marinated meld of country, rock, rhythm, and blues. It’s these R&B influences that emanate from this latest release.
“As I get older, I realize with everything a person has been through, how strong the human condition can become. We never become perfect, perhaps we strive to be, but with age comes wisdom, and that is something to rejoice in rather than fear. That is essentially where this song came from for me. Growing older is to be celebrated.” Aaron MacDonald continues his journey of releasing his repertoire of music.
