By: A & R Select In 2012 Christopher released his “Miles Upon Miles EP” while spending the 2011 - 2012 school year substitute teaching in New York City. There are three particular singles that are being highlighted from his EP; “Oh My God”, “Miles Upon Miles”, and “Footprints” “Oh My God” is an anecdote about pure relief. “It is about how the little things build up and sometimes make life seem so impossible that it takes a dramatic moment to snap you back to reality, reframing the important things in life and taking down the small things that divide us”, states Christopher. This song is a beautifully arranged acoustic which captures his crisp vocals so eloquently. The arrangement of this song is incredibly touching. The crispness of his vocals and the delicate yet intricate detailing of his guitar playing is something that makes you lose your breath. “Miles Upon Miles” is a song from the universal sense that life is a journey and is the epitome of Christopher's artistic voice. This song was inspired by his two-day bicycle journey across the state of Florida. The particular story behind it was that this trip took place the same day as the Japanese Tsunami/Nuclear disaster and when he left from the East coast he didn’t know if the California coast was going to exist. Battling headwinds on this journey became a cathartic experience for him and still has the same impact to this day. This song has more of a folk feel to it and has quite an extraordinary delivery method. He has this innate ability to bring audiences into his world, singing only to them. His soft vocals and the acoustic back rhythm capture the essence of the story taking you on the journey with him. This song has a particular motion and mood that you can feel. “Footprints” Christopher Battles’ music captures the human experience which is translated through sound directly into the heart of his audiences. His songs are so perfectly arranged that they leave a profound impact on those who have the privilege of listening to his music. Each stroke of a chord is equally matched by his incredible vocals. This is a story of one man’s life and has taken the audience by the hand giving them a glimpse of who he truly is. “Miles Upon Miles EP” is available at most digital storefronts.
