Meagan Hickman<\/a> has always been intentional about creating uplifting music, a trend she continues with her new song, \u201cOne Day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nBorn and raised in Chicago, the singer-songwriter was trained classically, falling in love with songwriting after discovering acts ranging from John Mayer to Bonnie Raitt. Adapting the craft as her own, Hickman began journaling as a teenager, her thoughts soon turning into song. Raised on the sounds of Motown and listening to India.Arie and Jill Scott as a teenager helped her develop a palette for soul music that she incorporates into her own sound. \u201cI feel like soulful music is always where my heart’s been. Vocally too, it’s challenging, and I always wanted to sing. Soulful music was always that outlet,\u201d Hickman tells Audiofemme<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Nashville-based artist carries this sound into \u201cOne Day,\u201d premiering exclusively with Audiofemme<\/em>. ahead of its official October 8 release date. The spirit of the song is as bright and sunny as the yellow dress she dons on the single’s cover art, while the instrumentation is as multilayered as the lyrics. A sparkling piano adds color in the background as syncopated drums shine alongside Hickman\u2019s radiant vocals. The song was inspired by the singer\u2019s friends who expressed regret choosing one life path over another, believing they neglected their calling and had run out of time to pursue it. That\u2019s where Hickman steps in to be a light at the end of the tunnel, encouraging them that dreams are never out of reach. \u201cOne day you\u2019re gonna find a way to see\/One day you\u2019re gonna find a way to breathe\/One day you\u2019re gonna find what you need\/One day you\u2019re gonna find a way to sing,\u201d she cheers in the chorus.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
