Singer/songwriter, Courtney Cotter King just dropped her newest single, “Big Strong Man” from her upcoming album, Brood. This jazzy and indie pop song has hints of a 1950’s lounge style vibe with a hint of modern day jazz club. With sounds of Norah Jones and Carol King, “Big Strong Man” is Courntey’s love song to her
husband. She sings about how he may be big, but he’s gentle, about how he’s a great dad, and about how he makes her feel light. She says that he makes her feel like the only girl in the world. “‘Big Strong Man’ is a playful tribute to masculinity creating a lovely backdrop for femininity,” says Courtney. “‘Light as a feather, when we’re together’ is how she feels against his ‘gentle giant, nice grizzly bear’ frame. Syncopated percussion, flirty echos and horns resembling early Fiona Apple, set the scene for Courtney’s vocal personality to come through in this jazzy
number. Ultimately written for her tall, handsome husband; Courtney hopes it can boost a lot of guys out there and promote brands that serve the individual strengths of women and men.” “Big Strong Man” is streaming now wherever you get music. Be sure to give it a listen.
