EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE: CJ Teffner’s “Crazy Train” Tugs At The Heartstrings

By Alexa Rahmanparast @alexarahmanpara · On July 10, 2018


Are you a fan of engaging, alternative folk music that draws you in right from its softly intense opening guitar plucks? Gorgeous, yearning vocals to match? Lyrics that encourage you stop and think in addition to singing along? If your answer to any of these is yes then you’ve come to the right place, for CJ Teffner‘s new single “Crazy Train” – featuring the talents of Robyn Cage on vocals – is all that and more.

Phoenix native Teffner is a writer, producer and performer gearing up to release his latest EP Stars this Friday, July 13. “Crazy Train” is the opening track and if the rest of the EP balances folks’s most touching strong yet delicate elements this beautifully, Stars is a release you will not want to miss. Check out the exclusive premiere of “Crazy Train” below!

(For fans of: Lana Del Rey, Bjork)

Teffner discusses the song’s origin: “Crazy Train” is much deeper than the opening riff and chorus that everyone knows. The song structure is actually in the Classical Baroque style. I used the same theory to re-harmonize the chords and melody. ‘Crazy, but that’s how it goes, millions of people living as foes, maybe it’s not too late, to learn how to love and forget how to hate.’ I feel this is a message that needs to be heard now more than ever.”

If you love what you’re hearing in “Crazy Train” as much as we do, you can pre-order the EP right now via iTunes or Amazon.
