Singer-songwriter Hillary Reynolds invites listeners into a whimsical and warmly contemplative sonic world with her latest single, “Can’t Turn Off My Mind.” This silvery, playful track marks the foundation of Reynolds’ upcoming debut album, Changing Seasons (out later this year), offering a grounded yet daydreamy soundtrack for your morning routine. Blending thoughtful lyricism with classic singer-songwriter stylings, the single evokes a soft space reminiscent of Beatrix Potter illustrations and Jane Austen musings.

“Can’t Turn Off My Mind” was originally written years ago, but found new life after Reynolds reconnected with collaborator and dear friend Madison Malone in Los Angeles. What began as a reflection on insomnia and intrusive thoughts gained richer meaning over time – particularly as both artists became mothers. That distinct sense of sleep-deprived tenderness now permeates the song’s groove-driven chorus, which Reynolds describes as “quirky, left-of-center, but completely natural when you feel it.”

Anchored by upright bass and dreamlike phrasing, the song balances whimsy with lyrical vulnerability. “I love how playful it is,” Reynolds shares. “Sometimes we just need music that makes us feel less heavy. I wanted to put out an album that feels like saying ‘hello’ to an old friend and I feel like this first single is an invitation to that space.”
