After kicking off the year with his song "Kennecott," rising San Diego singer Hayden Everett has now shared his full EP of the same name.

The newly released project includes the aforementioned title track as well as the simply stunning offering "Resolve," which arrived back in March. It showcases an artist who clearly has a powerful skillset for making beautiful music inspired by nature, the earth and the need to be fully aware and present.

"This project is centered around the concept of presence," says Everett. "It started with frustration about my own inability to be fully present, and became about how I (and you) can be more aware of the beauty that surrounds us. This EP is about being present in nature and on Earth, it’s about allowing awe and wonder to compel us to protect that beauty. It’s about pausing the constant movement and ladder climbing to be still; those moments are the most precious in the end."

He continues: "The Kennecott EP is about being present in sadness and pain rather than suppressing it. Ultimately, this project is the most vital to-do list I’ll ever write. At the end of my life, I deeply hope I can say that I embraced this to-do list, ‘adoring the weight of each moment.’"
