Sarah Reeves takes the position of the eternal optimist on her latest single "Best Days," available now. Her soaring range shines across a galloping melody as she stretches herself vocally, all the while carefully harnessing a sonically textured anthem full of lush, stacked vocals.

Confident there's a bright future in store, Reeves asks listeners to consider the possibility that the best is yet to come. While the songwriter doesn't dismiss hardship, she promises a silver lining is right around the corner, posing the question: What if the best days are ahead of us?

Reeves tells the story behind her song. "When we wrote this song I said, `I want to write a positive, hopeful anthem that the whole world can sing.' But in reality, I was writing this song to myself in the midst of a really hard personal season.

"There have been many days lately where I've wanted to give up. There have been moments where I think my best days are behind me. I'm so thankful to be able to make music for a living for as long as I have (13 years now). But I'm surrounded with negativity and fear as the music industry is changing and the art is getting lost in algorithms. As I've grown, I've become a bit jaded and tired. I needed to infuse my heart with hope and wonder again. I needed to dig deep and find that inner strength that I didn't even know was there.

I hope and pray that as I was encouraging myself, this speaks to your soul and lights a fire under you if you're feeling discouraged or disappointed. It's a simple concept but powerful ---- as long as you've got breath in your lungs, this could be what dreams are made of. So I ask you...What if the best days are ahead of us?!"
