Halifax Americana Artist Tyler Mullendore Shares Soulful Debut EP ‘Time Heals Everything’ feat. Concerned Focus Track “Mama Cry”
Born from the soul of Cape Breton soil, Halifax-based Tyler Mullendore blends rough and tumble roots-rock with the electrified emotion of southern fried Americana. The Canadian Idol finalist proves why he was awarded the top spot in eOne’s National Big Break Songwriting Competition; it’s clear the judges were just as taken with the authenticity of his songs as you’re sure to be.
Tyler’s much anticipated debut EP, Time Heals Everything (released on November 21st) draws from the bottomless well of inspiration that seems to guide artists who hail from Cape Breton Island. His stories are shaped by his own personal trials, yet made deeply relatable by his lyrical prowess. Time Heals Everything has its share of tales of sorrow and regret, but it ultimately culminates in the promise of positivity as one comes to grips with their own flaws and failures while looking hopefully towards better things to come. As the years pass, wounds close and the pain abates, reminding us to be good to ourselves, and take life’s lessons in stride as challenges are met and overcome.
The EP’s focus track, “Mama Cry,” reads like an intervention letter, a plea for a loved one to better themselves and get their life back on track. The heartfelt single was written after the mother of Tyler’s friend had called him in desperate worry about her son’s struggles with addiction, leading him to write a handwritten letter to the friend and pen this song.
Life is hard, and times are tough sometimes. We all have regrets, we all experience loss, pain and suffering, we all fall down; but we get up. The sun comes out, things get better, time heals. Use your past as a lesson and look positively forward to the future. – Tyler Mullendore
Old enough to know better
But too young to die
I’m writing you a letter
‘Cause I don’t wanna see your mama cry

On Time Heals Everything, Tyler took the producer’s chair with the help of mixing engineer, Francisco Lopes at Ocean Floor Recording in Halifax, NS. The EP’s title was inspired by a decade of love, loss, and hard times; as well as the will to heal and look to a better future ahead. Sonically, the record is filled with heavy classic rock vibes, with some tasteful twang, psychedelic space echo, and dreamy nostalgic guitar and piano melodies sprinkled in.
