Proclaim gets real with a soulful reset for the modern midlife “Start Again”

In a world where everyone seems focused on achieving certain life milestones, Proclaim’s new single, “Start Again,” featuring LaRussell, takes a refreshing look at what it feels like when you reach those goals and still feel lost. With honesty and deep insight, Proclaim shares his experience of a midlife awakening, creating a powerful song about redefining oneself. “Start Again” feels like having a heart to heart talk with a friend who truly understands you. There’s no flashy production or forced positivity, just real reflections in a soothing rhythm that resonates with urgency. It speaks to anyone who has ticked off all the boxes, like getting a degree, landing a job, and starting a family, and then looks in the mirror wondering, “Is this all there is?”

The lyrics hit hard with their straightforwardness, capturing that feeling of emptiness that comes from meeting everyone’s expectations but still feeling something vital is missing. Proclaim shares them clearly, coming from real-life experiences. “Start Again” is about having the courage to admit that something’s off and starting the challenging and hopeful journey of making changes. The song has a calm and thoughtful vibe that mirrors its message. A smooth groove provides a solid foundation, while gentle melody shifts reflect the emotions tied to the topic. The music has a subtle push and pull, balancing what’s expected from life versus what feels real, creating a dynamic journey throughout the song.

Proclaim also shines a light on how disconnected we can feel in today’s world, filled with phones, social media, and constant distractions. In such a hectic environment, being present can feel almost unusual, whether with yourself or others. “Start Again” acknowledges this struggle without judgment, reminding us that being present can be a way to start anew. “Start Again” provides honesty, relatability, and emotional connections from sharing the truth. It’s like a reset button in musical form. For anyone standing at a crossroads in life, wondering what to do next, Proclaim gently suggests, “You start again.”
