Erin Greider Unveils the Playful Spirit of ‘Taurus’ in a Special Anniversary Re-release


Los Angeles artist revisits a fan favorite with fresh insight and melodic charm

Published on May 20, 2024

Erin Greider a notable talent in the Los Angeles indie music scene, is celebrating the first anniversary of her single “Taurus” with a re-release produced by Topher Mohr.

At just 24, Erin has quickly made a name for herself as a prolific songwriter and versatile musician. Her single “Taurus” blends irresistible melodies with playful, tongue-in-cheek lyrics. The song captures the challenges of relationships and the uncertainties they bring, perfectly reflected in the lyrics, “Doesn’t matter how I feel, I’m not calling. Doesn’t matter what I think, you won’t hear from me. Doesn’t matter what I want, I’m not calling. I’ll just sit here hoping you will call me.” Erin explains, “I’m a Taurus, and one of the most common traits is stubbornness. ‘Taurus’ became the perfect title to sum up the song: me getting in my own way and being too set in my ways to actually get what I want.”

This re-release not only commemorates Erin’s achievements over the past year but also offers fans a cherished musical reflection during the summer, setting the stage for new projects slated for release towards the end of the year.

The track has enjoyed popularity on various platforms following the success of her debut album “Sim Controllers,” which was inspired by tumultuous relationship experiences. Erin continues to engage audiences with her dynamic live performances across Southern California, playing her pop melodies with rock influences. The themes of being young, having fun, and experiencing some heartbreak along the way are relatable to many.

“Taurus” is now available for streaming. Erin invites her listeners to explore the track’s playful and reflective spirit through its music and lyrics. “Let’s all dance and sing about how feelings are hard,” she suggests.
