Callie Young’s music feels like a late-night drive under endless stars, her voice painting vivid emotional landscapes against a backdrop of indie pop experimentation and folk-country roots. Her new single, “Training Wheels”, solidifies her place as a rising star in the indie scene, marrying heartfelt storytelling with a sound as expansive as her Southwest Colorado upbringing.
With lyrics that cut straight to the heart, “Training Wheels” reflects on the precarious journey of growing up. Young’s voice—delicate yet brimming with strength—guides listeners through the unease of letting go and finding balance. The instrumental bridge, a euphoric blend of soaring strings and cascading rhythms, mimics the feeling of speeding downhill, untethered and free. It’s a moment of catharsis that captures life’s bittersweet unpredictability.
Young’s influences are clear, with echoes of Kelsea Ballerini’s polish and the dreamy introspection of indie darlings like Gracie Abrams. Yet, she carves her own path with a sound that feels timeless yet fresh. “Training Wheels” is more than a song; it’s a reminder that growth comes from embracing the unknown. Callie Young has arrived, and her music is ready to take flight.
