"Let Me Let You Go", is the debut EP from the 21 year-old NYC-based singer songwriter Brandon Sheer. The EP is a heartfelt collection of songs that truly capture his feelings of angst and emotion without coming off trite or sounding cliché. The record was Brandon’s first attempt as a producer and hopefully not his last. With songs like “Stare at the Sun” and title track “Let Me Let You Go”, Brandon is well on his way to commercial success, resembling artists such as Pete Yorn and Ryan Adams. “The EP was really just the culmination of my frustrations over the last year. I needed a way to vent”. Undaunted, Brandon realizes the challenges on the road ahead. "To me there just seems to be a void out there right now - a total lack of straightforward, well written, melodic pop rock songs," says the 21-year old dynamo. "I'm not claiming to reinvent the wheel here, nor do I feel that I have to. I just want to write the type of songs that people can relate to and sing in the shower. I am really excited about the response to the new songs," says Brandon. "The reaction is far greater than I’d anticipated" he adds. Brandon's songs combine noticeable elements of his favorite 90's alternative acts as well as some Nashville influences. The lead single, "Stare at The Sun", is a deceptively sunny pop-rock song about self-destruction with an undeniably catchy chorus, while the title track, "Let Me Let You Go”, is a slow burning rocker about trying to get over someone but not being able to. The EP is rounded out by the Beatle-esque “Someone Else”, a ballad about people losing themselves when they become romantically involved with another person. Brandon will continue writing and playing shows and hopes to have a full-length album out sometime next year.
