Mark Needham’s Gritty Production Fuels Lavendine’s Boldest Chapter Yet
Lavendine’s latest release, “Who Cares If I’m Alone”, doesn’t just showcase their evolving sound—it declares a new era for the sister duo with grit, grace, and unapologetic power. Jacy and Jana Ayers have always leaned into vulnerability, but this time, they’ve transformed pain into pure creative force.
Produced and mixed by Grammy-nominated legend Mark Needham (Fleetwood Mac, The Killers, Imagine Dragons), the track pulses with a moody intensity and a rock-leaning edge that elevates it from introspective ballad to anthem status. Vocal production from Nashville’s Ed Seay (Martina McBride, Blake Shelton) adds just the right emotional texture—grounding the soaring melodies in raw truth.
From the opening lines, it’s clear this isn’t just another heartbreak song. It’s a reclamation. Fueled by betrayal and solitude, “Who Cares If I’m Alone” turns isolation into a badge of honor. The chorus—“Who cares if I’m alone”—lands not in despair, but in liberation. Lavendine dares to ask: what if walking away is the bravest choice?
The arrangement is a slow build, fusing delicate piano with haunting guitar work that gradually erupts into a cathartic finale. The sonic palette echoes the likes of Florence + The Machine and Sara Bareilles—but with Lavendine’s unmistakable harmonic signature woven throughout.
What sets this track apart, however, is the emotional core behind it. Written during a period of personal hardship, the song emerged from the sisters’ realization that even if no one else shows up at the finish line, their purpose remains unchanged. As they put it, “We didn’t need a crowd. We just needed peace.”
Fans familiar with Lavendine’s previous work—like “Diamonds in the Sky” and the EDM-tinged “Finding My Way Home”—will recognize the duo’s knack for melody and heartfelt lyricism. But “Who Cares If I’m Alone” is bolder. More grounded. It’s not about getting through the storm. It’s about learning to dance in the rain—and choosing to do it alone if necessary.
The lyric video, equally striking, reinforces the song’s message with stark, evocative visuals that capture the ache and empowerment of separation.
As a lead-up to their upcoming EP Deep Blue, this single sets a high bar. With contributions from top session musicians and sonic architects like Matt Chamberlain and Jamie Muhoberac, Lavendine is building something far deeper than pop hooks and radio hits—they’re crafting a legacy rooted in resilience.
“Who Cares If I’m Alone” is a song for anyone who’s had to rebuild after being broken. It’s a hand reaching out in the dark—and a reminder that sometimes, your own light is more than enough.
