Carter's Chord Debut "A Little Less Comfortable"

The country trio Carter's Chord, (the sisters Becky, Emily, and Joanna Robertson) are out with their very first music video for their fourth single, "A Little Less Comfortable," which tells the story of someone longing to return a more exciting, unpredictable time in a relationship. The trio of sisters have delivered what very may well be their first real shot at a true radio hit as "A Little Less Comfortable" has everything that modern country radio seemingly wants out of their female singers. The lyric is relatable to a wide variety of listeners, while also having an inviting melody juxtaposed with fantastic harmonic vocals from the sisters. It's also a song that just works.
The mid-tempo ballad is about a relationship that's gone a little bit stale, as a couple that has gotten a little too comfortable with their relationship and finds the woman pleading to her husband to treat her a little bit more like he used to treat her. This is the kind of feeling that many people have in relationships, that stale or as Carter's Chord say, "comfortable" feeling that leads to one or both feeling like there's nothing but 'going through the motions' and rather than let that lead to the marriage or relationship becoming even more stale, she's pleading with her man to take the effort to make life "A Little Less Comfortable."
Carter's Chord sing that a marriage has grown a bit too predictable and hope for something "A Little Less Comfortable." Over a muted acoustic guitar, the music slowly gains momentum as a full band comes in, but things stay downbeat and reflective throughout. Emily tells about song: "People live pretty comfortably now with all of the amenities that the world has to offer, and you kind of ruin yourself with that. You don't ever go out and do something scary anymore. You don't step outside yourself and push the boundaries and live life as passionately anymore. So we're encouraging people to step outside themselves and live life a little less comfortable in every part of life: your relationships, your jobs, your family. We really believe in this song and believe in the message."
Carter's Chord are suffer through a safe but distant dinner date, stuck in a stale relationship, and long for a time when things were "A Little Less Comfortable" in their Kristin Barlowe-directed new video, which takes place in a Renaissance theme where a women just wants the attention of her man. With a sound that recalls classic country but is mixed with a more modern sound as well, they has really come on as of late. The music of Carter's Chord is steeped in tradition. The trio sisters bring their modern musical flair to a tradition that includes Outlaw country and the blues as well as roots rock to create a distinctive new rocking country that's all their own. This is the first time I truly have felt like they've got something that will be warmly embraced by country music radio stations throughout the country.
