We had the pleasure of interviewing Ron Pope over Zoom video!
Ron Pope is a Nashville-based, critically-acclaimed, fiercely independent, platinum recording. Ron’s music has been streamed billions of times, and it’s been featured on tv shows like “90120,” “So You Think You Can Dance,” and more. Recently, his song “A Drop In The Ocean,” which became an enduring fan favorite after it was featured in “Vampire Diaries,” went viral on TikTok, introducing it to a whole new set of young fans.
Ron’s new LP, Inside Voices, out now via Brooklyn Basement Records, is a 10-track gut-puncher - the rawest, most vulnerable, stripped-down set of songs he’s ever recorded.
The album was created in the wake of back-to-back tragedies in Ron's family - his wife, Blair, had lost a pregnancy; her next was diagnosed as ectopic, which almost took her life. The Pope family was in an extremely dark place. To find some sense of normalcy, Ron packed up Blair and their young daughter and took a trip to the beach. It was a life-giving experience after so much heartbreak. Ron, who hadn’t been able to write a song in a year during this period, was able to tap back into his creativity, and 75 or more songs poured out of him. In the midst of the writing process, Ron lost his beloved grandparents within eight days of each other; their 60+ year marriage was an inspiration to him, and also inspired several of the songs on the record.
He decided he wanted to record the album in a secluded place by the water, with his family close by - his normal studio grind of 18-hour days locked away from them was no longer a viable option. Ron found the perfect spot by the tranquil waters of the Peconic Bay in a rural area on Long Island, NY. He and his friend/longtime collaborator, Paul Hammer, set about the painstaking process of setting up a studio, recording, engineering, and playing all of the instruments themselves in their cottage by the sea.
The album, born from tragedy and a major dose of perspective, is a realization that true, lasting love is an action, a choice you make every single day. Inside Voices is the sound of a man stripped bare, broken down, and rebuilt. It shows Ron Pope at the height of his prowess - a writer speaking with honesty, vulnerability, and ultimately, gratitude.
