Enter Carson Ferris with his latest single, “Ghosts,” which reveals the unreal talent lying deep within this 14-year-old prodigy. As his voice cuts through the opening with a haunting question: “Do You Believe In Ghosts?”—listeners are taken through a soundscape that is both catchy and profound. Balanced somewhere between cool, modern vibes and a heavier, more introspective message that Carson was so ready to deliver, this is an electro-pop recording.
Carson started creating this song with first-hand accounts and keen observations that may seriously pierce into whoever goes through these situations. Overall, it talks about the importance of letting go and moving on despite its difficulty. According to Carson, forgiveness is the key to this.
The song is a significant achievement for Carson and his work and collaborations with the music producer Matthew Parker. Just a bit slower in tempo than general dance, the synth-heavy beats and drum-laden hooks produce this mix of emotional vocals and chill electronic vibes. The end product is a track that feels like it could be a mashup of Kygo and Marshmello, but ultimately Carson Ferris.
Of “Ghosts,” Carson said, “Ghosts is a song about letting go and moving on from situations and people that aren’t good for you. In the bridge, the lyrics say that moving on is the only way things can be ok. That’s definitely true. All that holding on to things like that will do is cause more resentment. Sometimes that can be really hard to do, but it’s a necessary part of life that we can all relate to. And I think forgiveness is an important part of moving on, so I put a lot of emphasis on that in Ghosts. You can’t let go until you forgive, even if it seems easier to hold a grudge.” His work with Parker on this track brought new life into Carson’s sounds, complete with production that could capture the song’s raging emotions.
The song marks his first single in nearly nine months, the last one having been his 2023 hit “Talkin’ to You.” In this release, with “Ghosts,” Carson heads toward a bit more of an electronic vibe; it is said that the track was actually recorded within his home studio. Thus, cementing even more versatility and constant growth in the artistry of Carson. That’s his dedication speaking: Carson has been enrolled in online schooling since 2020, which has given him more time to write, produce, and perform. Performances are scheduled regularly at local music festivals, such as Fork Fest and Buzzards and Bees while continuing to broaden that active radius.
