Fresh from Paradise Point Recording Studio in Pensacola, FL, Constant Change “Dawn” brings us “We Gonna Make It” – a track that hits differently. The song comes alive with soaring horns and guitar work that gets under your skin, all while carrying a message about pushing through when times get tough. It’s the kind of song that matches the artist’s name perfectly – speaking to how we all have to adapt and keep moving forward.
Constant Change knows a thing or two about life’s ups and downs. After writing hits for others and then watching a major record deal slip away, this song feels like it comes from a real place. When the Los Angeles fires hit, the lyrics took on new meaning, offering a musical hand to hold for anyone dealing with loss.
The track showcases Constant Change’s ability to weave together Gospel, R&B, Jazz Pop, and even some Reggae vibes without losing their signature sound. And there’s more where that came from – they’re planning to drop two new tracks every month throughout 2025, keeping that inspiration flowing.

Your artist name, Constant Change “Dawn”, suggests a sense of transformation and new beginnings. How does this theme reflect in your latest single “We Gonna Make It”?
Constant Change is a name that I chose for myself in 1997. Having gone through a devastating loss and disappointment during that time, the name defined for me what I could expect from life. My world fell apart when I lost a major record deal w Elektra Records. It wasn’t until years later that I learned how to find a firm foundation to stand on despite all of the unpredictable and uncertainty life can bring.
Can you walk us through the inspiration behind this track? What personal or artistic experiences led you to create this song?
I had the song finished about 3 months before the Los Angeles fires started. All of the sorrow and loss of property and home inspired me to change some of the lyrics to speak to the tragedy in the hopes that it may bring comfort to those devastated by the catastrophic event.
“We Gonna Make It” seems to carry a message of hope and perseverance. What do you want listeners to take away from the song?
I want listeners to feel exactly that… hopeful and inspired to persevere. I want them to find comfort in Christ Jesus, not because everything will be easy to manage but because His peace through the toughest times is real. I want them to feel the joy that hope can bring even though everything around them is gone and the future looks hopeless. I want them to believe that they will somehow make it.
How does this single differ from your previous musical work? What new artistic directions are you exploring?
There is a bit of Reggae in this tune. I don’t write Reggae music typically but more R&B, Gospel, and Jazz Pop. I found a few guitar parts that I used in production and a created a bouncy groove that combines several of these genres.
The music industry can be challenging. How has your journey as an artist shaped the narrative of this particular track?
I love this question. I have a deep faith in Christ Jesus. My musical journey has been filled with bright moments of splendor and success, having written for several recording artists, to times of great disappointment and drought. Some seasons are dark and I feel like I’m wandering around without a compass, but I always feel in prayer connected to God, who I believe is guiding my steps. This relationship enables me to feel confident in my future and His purpose.
How do you balance maintaining your unique artistic identity while also creating music that connects with a broader audience?
hmmmm, I guess I don’t worry about trying to appeal to a broader audience if it means sacrificing the identity I feel is truly me.
Beyond this single, what can fans expect from you in the upcoming months? Are there plans for an album or more music releases?
In 2025, I am on schedule to release 2 songs per month. The 1st and 15th of each month.
How do you hope this song will resonate with your listeners, especially in the context of current social or personal challenges?
I hope they feel inspired to look past the difficult moments and press on when giving up seems the easier thing to do. Especially for those in LA right now facing the fires and folks in North Carolina too who went through hurricane Helene and all of the other folks who feel displaced or traumatized.
Can you share a bit about your musical background and how it has contributed to the style of “We Gonna Make It”?
I grew up in Pentacostal churches and Gospel music is a big influence. Gospel music has so much soul and is a mix of blues, and R&B and classical, and country. These along w other great artists, like Dave Grusin, Earth Wind & Fire, Quincy Jones and so many others have influenced my writing. It all has made a deep impression that’s hard to define, but somehow it all works to inspire me.
