From Zillions Music Magazine: Logan Lynn finds strength being open with “Too Hard”(8/19/25)
Logan Lynn is back with his new single “Too Hard,” Known for his honest songwriting, Lynn’s latest track shows that being truthful can be powerful. This song is the first taste from his upcoming album, “The Pain And The Power,” a title that hints at the themes of struggle and strength he’s exploring. Indie musician Kyle Andrews produced the song, and it’s packed with emotion, capturing the difficulty of moving on from someone you still care about.
“Too Hard” is about saying goodbye to a loved one, but it maintains a lightness that makes it feel freeing rather than heavy. Lynn isn’t here to dwell on sadness, instead, he delivers a clear, refreshing sound that feels invigorating, much like stepping outside into crisp air after being indoors for too long. His soothing vocals blend beautifully with Andrews’ bright production, striking a balance between openness and determination. This track showcases Lynn’s talent for turning his personal experiences into songs that many can relate to. There’s a sweetness in the details and strength in his honesty as he faces the heartbreak head-on, appreciating the good moments even as he lets go.
What shines through in “Too Hard” is a sense of compassion for himself, for the love he experienced, and for the listeners. It’s a song that invites connection, making it easy to relate to, even if you haven’t been in Lynn’s exact situation. This isn’t music that shies away from hard feelings, it always carries a message of kindness. As the first glimpse of “The Pain And The Power,” “Too Hard” sets a powerful tone. It shows that Lynn is entering a new phase, where a clearer direction enhances his well-known talent for telling his story.
Aug 14, 2025 Comments Off on The Pain And The Power
We finished my new record, The Pain And The Power, on Tuesday night, and the studio I work out of here in Portland burned down on Wednesday, less than 24 hours later. I am feeling very grateful that Pretty Baby and I were not there when the fire happened and that no one else was hurt. Also feeling so lucky that we finished when we did and that my new music is not one of the many, MANY things that has been lost in the fire.
I made the Distracted EP at Burn Money Studios, as well as the Rock and Roll City single, and this new collection of songs I’ve been working on this year. This special place has been my musical home for a long time now and I love all of the people who have been affected by this devastating loss. It’s kind-of unimaginable, but I went over there today and saw it with my own eyes. It’s all gone.
My friends iLoveMakonnen, Yellow Trash Can, and so many others have dedicated countless hours to building that spot into the community hub it is today. This is not just a loss for the music scene. This is a loss for PDX.
I am sitting here with the hard drive we loaded up at the end of that session on Tuesday — perhaps the last record to ever come out of the studio before it was destroyed — and I need to do something to help, right now.
We have big plans for The Pain And The Power, all of which will still be happening…but ahead of any of that, I have decided to release the first track TODAY as a @Bandcamp exclusive and a 100% fundraiser for my Burn Money Studios family who will be out of work for the foreseeable future. The price is $5 but if you can pay more, please do. I will be giving all of the proceeds from this single toward supporting the rebuild.
Music is love.
Support your local crews and workers.
Thank you to Burn Money Music for everything you have done (and will still do) for Portland’s music community. I love you and am here for you, with you. Gonna take a lot more than a fire to take this magic out.
