debut single: “WEAK”

Preston Cooper’s debut single, “Weak,” is a soulful, bluesy song full of a lot of emotion, which Preston delivers so convincingly. A lot of people are surprised by his voice when they first hear him sing because it’s not what you would expect to come from his tall, slender, unimposing 22-year-old frame. Preston says the conviction he sings with is probably a combination of some life experiences and a great producer, although he’s not entirely sure.

Preston Cooper – where does soul come from :17

“You know, honestly I don’t know where it comes from. But my family’s been through a lot, a lot of bad things, so I think maybe a little bit of it comes from that. When I made the record, Brett Warren is the producer, and he was always gettin’ on me about phrasing and ‘sing it like you mean it,’ and ‘just get in the groove and be emotional with it.’”
