New Year’s Day 2024 — a fresh start. But for perfectionists like singer-songwriter Taylor Bickett, it’s not so simple.
After sharing a preview of “I Like Mondays” on social media, Bickett received an outpour of positive reactions from people who felt the same. So in just weeks, she recorded and released the indie pop song to eager fans.
It’s about the insane pressure that I have found myself putting on each new week, month, or year to be the one in which I no longer make mistakes and do everything perfectly … The song is, at its core, an affirmation that we all deserve grace; that beautiful things can come our way if we just relinquish control, if we loosen our grip, if we surrender to the universe.
~ Taylor Bickett
“I Like Mondays” is an anthem for everyone anxious to risk falling short. Bickett’s gentle vocals guide listeners through this vulnerable track. A warm yet wistful vibe feels comforting, drawing you in with melodic hooks and acoustic guitar.
I am perfect if by perfect you mean totally flawed
I am wrestling with the presence of an all-knowing god
I drink caffeine even though I always said I would not
So I’m weak, or a fool, but I’m supposed to be, that’s me~ “I Like Mondays”
From Indiana to Nashville and soon Los Angeles, Bickett uses her gift for storytelling to spread music that strikes a chord with listeners far and wide. Her 2022 hit “Quarter Life Crisis” went viral on TikTok for its relatability about growing up, and her 2023 EP grown up and lonely is as authentic as ever.
You can catch Taylor Bickett on tour with Ron Pope, with dates through March 10 around the country. Check ticket availability for upcoming shows here.
