Taking Risks

Andrew “AWALL” Cornwall returns – “Taking Risks,” showcasing his unwavering commitment to personal growth and artistic evolution. Produced by the enigmatic Anonymass and mixed and mastered by the ever-reliable Nate Middleman at Above Ground Studios, this song is a dynamic exploration of strength, ambition, and self-determination.
Following the first Artists Summit, AWALL was deeply inspired to collaborate with Caskey and Anonymass. However, the journey to creating “Taking Risks” was not without its challenges. AWALL struggled with tinnitus, a condition that began to affect his hearing, making the process of writing and recording this single particularly tough. Yet, it was during this trying time that AWALL discovered a deeper sense of gratitude for life, finding strength in adversity.

“Taking Risks” carries a weight of introspection, with each lyric offering a window into AWALL’s mindset. The song opens with the striking line, “I got the only thing that’s stronger than diamonds,” a declaration that his heart, unyielding and resilient, can withstand any pressure the world throws at him. It’s a bold assertion of inner strength, emphasizing that no external force can diminish the power he holds within.

Simply put, this work of art is a journey of trial and triumph. A man determined to make his mark on the world. The poignant question, “How you go from leader to a legend?” encapsulates the essence of everything this track means. It’s a challenge posed not just to himself, but to anyone striving for greatness. AWALL explores the sacrifices, the risks, and the relentless drive needed to transcend from being merely a leader to becoming a legend. As AWALL puts it, “Life is a balance of risk or reward, what are you willing to risk?”.

The final, resonant line of the track, “It’s all up to me now,” is a moment of clarity and empowerment. Here, AWALL acknowledges that his success and happiness hinge entirely on his choices and outlook. It’s a statement of personal accountability, where he takes full control of his destiny, refusing to leave it in the hands of fate.

The production quality of “Taking Risks” is top-notch, thanks to the combined efforts of Anonymass and Nate Middleman. The seamless blend of beats and lyrical intensity is a testament to AWALL’s meticulous approach to his craft. The track was brought to life at Above Ground Studios, where every note and every word was carefully crafted to deliver a powerful message.

Adding to the artistic vision of the track is the cover art, a collaborative effort by Chris Grainger, Ethan Lyon, and AWALL himself. The visual representation of “Taking Risks” mirrors the song’s themes of strength and transformation, providing a striking accompaniment to the music.

AWALL’s journey from a beatmaker on FL Studio in 2010 to the accomplished artist he is today has been nothing short of extraordinary. “Taking Risks” is not just a song; it’s a testament to his resilience and his relentless pursuit of greatness. It serves as a reminder that the path to success is fraught with challenges, but with the right mindset, anything is possible.

Fans of AWALL can look forward to more music that pushes the boundaries of introspection and artistic expression. With three more tracks on the horizon, each promises to delve deeper into the themes that make AWALL’s music so compelling.
