Highwind is the passion project of two very talented individuals. Singer-songwriter Chris Russo and drummer Dan Smith. The Two New Jerseyans come together to create A pop-rock act that aims to tell honest, relatable stories. Incorporating catchy hooks, vibrant guitar picks, and rhythms, you can’t help but dance too. They have worked with producers such as Adam Cichocki (Kaonashi, Soul Blind, Gatherers, Like Pacific, and more) and Connor Hanson (Halogens, Mandancing, Latewaves, and more), and performed with acts such as Young Culture, Homesafe, Handguns, and Shallow Pools. Look out for Highwind as they take stage and bring their stories to you.
In their newest release “Fine for you” Chriss Russo gives a more personal message to himself. The song is a slight change in pace compared to his usual pop-rock upbeat style, having a more gentle but still playful sound that gives a powerful message.
Chris recalls “Fine For You” was written during a time where I wasn’t sure of what to do next. It was written out of anxiousness from not feeling like I’m working hard enough, and wanting to feel like I’m good enough. This song also marks a huge pivot in sound for Highwind. This song, both lyrically and sonically, is a big change in the direction of Highwind, and I couldn’t think of a better song to showcase the new chapter of this project”

There’s a consistent, yet smooth acoustic background that is perfect for the message that Chris is giving to himself on this track. The lyrics touch on the strive for perfection that is in all of us, and that sometimes we need to remind ourselves that we are good enough. A catchy chorus combined with a steller guitar riff half way through delivers this message beautifully.
Another fantastic tune to listen to on repeat. Looking forward to what Highwind has in store for the future!
