In Their Words: “I wrote ‘Normal’ a few years ago in Adelaide after a friend came to a show, and we were chatting about relationships. I wasn’t married at the time, but I was thinking about taking the next step. My friend opened my eyes on how marriage, after all the glamour, needs serious work, and how he still loved his partner, but it expressed itself differently over the years. I loved the idea of describing a deep love for someone without saying the word ‘love.'” — Eze Walters, Woodlock

WATCH: Katie Pruitt, “Normal”

Artist: Katie Pruitt
Hometown: Nashville, Tennessee
Song: “Normal”
Album: Expectations
Release Date: February 21, 2020
Label: Rounder Records

In Their Words: “‘Normal’ was always a concept I fought against… I hated dresses, played with action figures instead of Barbies, I even cut my hair short. Kids aren’t afraid to be themselves, which is something we lose sight of as adults. We all feel this pressure to conform when the truth is… there is no mold we need to fit, no script we have to read from, and no such thing as ‘normal.'” — Katie Pruitt
