Addison Agen is an Americana singer-songwriter best known as Season 13’s first runner up on NBC’s The Voice. Based out of Fort Wayne, Indiana, the 19-year-old’s raw and heart-wrenching voice welcomes listeners of all kinds to be grateful and self-reflective. Addison’s honest storytelling and simplicity earned her an opening slot with Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, as well as Kevin Bacon’s, The Bacon Brothers in 2019. Addison’s music transforms lived experiences into songs woven together with themes of nostalgia, acceptance, hopefulness and joy.
Agen knocked my socks off with “Kitchen Sink,” so I ripped the proverbial cover off of “Darlin'”. The song is a light piano tune made intimate by Agen’s stunning voice.
She tells us more about the song: “I wrote this song during the stage of falling in love with someone where you just feel invincible. When you’re so in love that any annoying or frustrating thing that happens throughout your day doesn’t even faze you. In the song I go through what some of those things are, like, “I’ve got tangles up hair every single morning, I get sick at least once every season, but I’ve got you, Darlin'”
