Today, buzzing 19-year-old songstress UPSAHL shares her brand new single “The Other Team,” whilst announcing her signing to recently re-launched Arista Records, which historically launched some of the world’s most celebrated and revered superstars. This marks her first major label release under the newly minted deal.
Over the rich sonic backdrop on “The Other Team”, UPSAHL croons a story about “a boy who seems too good to be true” before the clever and catchy chorus chant—“Swinging, swinging, swinging for the other team.” The song explores feelings of unrequited love and missed connections translated into vivid verses and a relatable chorus.
“I wrote ‘The Other Team’ on the last day of a month-long writing trip,” says UPSAHL.
“A few minutes into the session, the concept just sort of came to me,
‘Everyone can relate to being into someone that they know they can’t
have’.”
