Boy band Citizen Four is back with another bop!
Just two months after announcing the addition of new member Mikey Fusco to the group, the talented foursome — including other three members Austin Percario, and Conner and Carson Boatman — dropped new single “My Name (Say It),” a modern twist on Destiny Child’s TBT jam, “Say My Name,” and we’re loving their creative spin!
Catch the unique track below, keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming music video and keep scrolling to get Citizen Four’s inside scoop on all things music!
How did you choose “Say My Name” as the song you wanted to use?
Carson: If you go back and look at top 5 most popular R & B group songs, that’s definitely, in my opinion, number one. It’s one of the most catchy hooks that I’ve ever heard in a song.
What was it like recording with Rodney Jerkins, the producer of the original song?
Carson: We actually went to his house and recorded it in his studio! We got to hold the Grammy for the actual original song, which was fun. It also had to be cleared by all of Destiny’s Child, which was kind of a nail- biter. But they all listened to it and liked it!
This is your first song since Mikey joined the group. How did that affect the process?
Mikey: We’ve been really taking our time, making sure that we’re finding the right sound. We feel like this is the record to break out with and reintroduce this new sound we’ve been working on. We’re just ready to come out with a bang!
How would you describe your overall sound?
Conner: I would say our sound is R & B meets urban pop. We definitely want to appeal to an older crowd, as well as a younger crowd. So we’re trying to make our sound something kids in college and out of college and before college would want to listen to at a party. But also something that 13-year-old girls would want to listen to at a slumber party. And then also their parents too!
Carson: If Nick Jonas, the Weeknd and Justin Bieber all had a baby, we’re what it would kind of sound like.
