Driven to write the perfect song, Minneapolis-born singer/songwriter Ted Hajnasiewicz (Hi-Nah-SHEV-Its) performs with a magnetizing honesty and reflective tone that speaks to the very essence of the human spirit.
After spending years honing his craft, Ted put his best foot forward with the release of “This Is What I Do” in 2019. Now, he’s returning with a collection of pop songs, love songs, introspective songs about deepening existing relationships and letting love win.
Tony Wanted to Make a Record. That’s the title of the album, as well as the catalyst for the collection of new you now hold in your head. Producer/engineer friend Tony Preston approached Ted with a proposition – “I want to record one of your songs, Ted”. taking it a bit too far, Ted put forth an 8-song pop rock “feel good, or least FEEL” concept album.
What does Ted mean by “Feel good, or at least FEEL”? In his own words, “I had some silly pop rock love songs, that were written in an attempt to escape the throes of social media and societal unrest and division. Something to just let that go for 30 minutes and just chill.” Combined with a couple songs about the desire for deeper connection than one could ever have on a mobile device, “feel good, or at least FEEL” became his mantra and goal with this release. “My desire is for people to know they are known. To know they are loved. To know they MATTER. These days, that’s not a common way of thinking – I’d love for us to get back to that. These silly little songs are no more than a momentary release from the daily grind – but that’s a start. Maybe from there, we can slow down and get to know each other. Maybe we can learn to love each other again.”
Why not call the album “Feel Good, Or At Least Feel”? In Ted’s own words, “Tony wanted to make a record…”
