“Inside Out” is an ode to the emotional journey, a journey within that produces something worth celebrating. That warmth fits well with where the song is musically headed, creating a release that feels uplifting without losing its sense of purpose.
The song was co-written by Judith Owen and Grammy Award-winning musician Jamison Ross and includes the Tonya Boyd-Cannon Choir. Their contributions further accentuate the song's soulfulness, creating a musical experience rooted in rich traditions yet focused on its message of hope. The New Orleans-inspired foundation is a key element of what makes "Inside Out" stand out. The song moves through numerous connected musical influences, including soul, gospel, jazz, and R&B, while keeping its cheerful personality.
There’s something refreshing about a track that makes positivity its emotional core. “Inside Out” isn't a full study of suffering, but a glimpse of self-discovery and the choice to pursue optimism and joy.
