Opening with acoustic guitar plucking and a strong pop beat, Taylor Sanders introduces herself to the audience exactly as she does onstage and off. The fiery redhead’s powerful voice blends masterfully into the track’s chorus and the message of female empowerment sprinkled within the lyrics. Additionally, the unique sound expressed in “Firecracker” presents amazing vocal modulations in the perfect moments, adding something special to Taylor’s powerhouse vocals.
With “country twang and beats that bang,” Sanders cleverly blends country, pop, and trap beats into an irresistible blend. Working with decorated music creatives in both the country and pop genres on this release brought the spark, and Sanders’ vocals and vivacious personality delivers the fire.
Sanders, a skin cancer survivor and Melanoma Research Foundation ambassador, has worked on the #GetNaked campaign to raise awareness and encourage others to prioritize their health. After successful surgeries and skin grafts, the artist focused on her next steps and “Firecracker” came to life.
“I was diagnosed with invasive skin cancer that led to me undergoing several surgeries and a skin graft. I wrote Firecracker to be empowered through my diagnosis and to empower others as they overcome their obstacles. Today, I am an advocate for early skin cancer detection with Melanoma.org, and my mission is to promote being confident in the healthy skin you’re in.” -Taylor Sanders
