This summer, Oregon-born artist Tessa Violet released her single “My Body’s My Buddy,” alongside Nashville artist Brye. The empowering and wholesome single was a massive success, resonating with listeners worldwide and emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance and body positivity. Tessa has now revealed a fresh remix of her popular single, teaming up with viral artist corook to develop a gender-neutral rendition that she believes will enhance the song's impactful message.
“When I released ‘My Body’s My Buddy’, my fans asked for a gender-neutral version… I was SO down and immediately thought of asking [corook] to jump on as the feature! I had been listening to their song ‘Emergency Contact’ a lot over the summer, and I love all the new things they're putting out. When I brought the idea up to Brye, she told me [corook] also had a viral song centered around body positivity, called “If I Were A Fish”! I didn’t realize they were the same person, and I love how full circle that feels. I love what Corinne’s voice brings to the song and feel very honored they were willing to sing on it!”
corook sings, "Oh my body, I will find you, every day, I’m there behind you, though the world may betray me, you are home, you are my safety". These lyrics capture the image of someone embarking on a great journey with their body, like a knight on horseback.
“My Body’s My Buddy" emits a magical atmosphere, wrapping you up in a warm embrace, where the soothing, delicate voices are celestial and the soft instrumentation feels like being in a tranquil, enchanted garden. This song is the perfect conclusion to 2024, leaving us with a sense of peace, strength and confidence, and preparing us to step into the new year with a healthier, more positive mindset.
