Encouraging everyone to embrace their identities, gifted singer-songwriter Kacey McClain has delivered the ultimate anthem for anyone who has ever been an outcast. McClain's recent single, "Outsider," is available now and amplifies the voices of those who don't always fit within the mainstream.

McClain's "Outsider," co-written by Myah Marie and Jason Strong, is a memorable track with pop-punk roots and inspirational lyrics. Opening with the riveting rhythm of guitar strings, "Outsider" ramps up for a catchy chorus as McClain's melodic voice complements the pulse of drums within the infectious beat. Euphorically blending the nostalgia of early 2000s pop-punk with a modern uptempo sound and a relevant message, McClain addresses relatable feelings of loneliness with lyrics like, "In a room full of people, I still feel alone." The lyrics display a raw vulnerability while the beat blares with energetic confidence, resulting in a harmonious combination.

The resonant themes in "Outsider" reflect McClain's mission to inspire and fearlessly give voice to the personal challenges many face. Her passion derives from her unique background. Hailing from a Southern Baptist community in Greenville, Texas, McClain experienced both loving warmth and a harsh "don't ask, don't tell" culture in an environment that made it challenging to express herself.

With an intimate understanding of how many mental and physical struggles people endure behind closed doors, McClain became determined to use music as a resource to bring these issues out into the open. Removing judgment and stigmas, McClain's music helps listeners feel heard and less alone. The prevalent struggle of eating disorders and anorexia hits particularly close to home for McClain, whose previous single, "Creature," candidly touched on her own struggles with anorexia.

McClain's resilience shines against every hardship, including her eating disorder, the resulting loneliness and isolation, as well as battling a life-threatening infection. Learning to grow around substantial obstacles with nuance, solace, and humor, McClain has transformed the darkest parts of her journey into a positive impact. From educating others about the life-threatening illness she nearly died from to using her creativity to craft music that inspires, McClain's journey encourages others to keep going and find strength.

Adding more personal perspectives to her latest single, McClain released "Outsider" as an effective way to contribute to creating a safe environment for others to process and express their own stories of feeling anxious, insecure, and left on the outside. "Outsider" serves as a significant highlight in McClain's music career, working alongside talented writers to produce a confident and compassionate anthem.

"Outsider" provides a glimpse into an exciting future for McClain, who will soon release her debut solo album. After having the privilege of working with some of the biggest names in the industry and being recognized in publications like Bust magazine, McClain is ready to share a unified body of work and continue telling her story with candid authenticity.

Societal stigmas are effortlessly dispelled in Kacey McClain's sympathetic songs. With the powerful message of "Outsider" now available to stream, McClain speaks to those on the fringes and warmly invites you to belong just as you are.
