Poet and singer-songwriter Chris Bullinger is set to release Part 2 of his ambitious conceptual double album, Waitin’ To Be Seen, slated for release in spring 2025. Following the success of Part 1, this second installment deepens Bullinger’s exploration of love, resilience, and self-discovery. Leading the release is the standout single, “Salvation As I Know It,” a track that weaves soft, dreamy harmonies with playful keys, offering a reflective soundtrack perfect for quiet moments of renewal, like cooking breakfast on a Saturday morning. “Salvation As I Know It” stands out not only for its warm sonic textures but also for its poignant narrative. Reflecting on the song, Bullinger shares, “Salvation As I Know It was inspired by a chance meeting — ain’t they all — in a bar overseas. Not sure exactly why the war theme but the bar was actually blown up in an act of war several years later.” He continues, “In a world full of war — literally and figuratively — ‘Salvation As I Know It’ is simply my skin on your skin.” Waitin’ To Be Seen Part 2 serves as the continuation of Bullinger’s journey through a collection of sonic vignettes. Each song is intricately woven into the overarching narrative of a tumultuous love story between a touring musician and a woman he meets along the way. The album navigates themes of longing, connection, and redemption, all presented with Bullinger’s signature blend of Midwest country grit and California rock sunshine. Part 1 of Waitin’ To Be Seen introduced listeners to Bullinger’s world with tracks like the psychedelic sprawl of “Darlin’ ‘n’ Me” and the roots-rock groove of “Payin’ Dues.” These songs showcased Bullinger’s talent for storytelling, blending literary finesse with musical adventure. Recorded at the iconic Bomb Shelter Studios in Nashville, where Bullinger worked alongside a tight-knit group of seasoned musicians, the album reflects years of artistic refinement and collaboration. Building on the momentum of Part 1, Waitin’ To Be Seen Part 2 promises to deliver more of Bullinger’s deeply introspective songwriting and masterful musicianship. Tracks like “Lazy Green Dream” and the poignant “Offerin’ Acceptance” further illustrate the thematic depth of the project, offering listeners a rich tapestry of sound and story. The Nashville sessions have culminated in what Bullinger refers to as the “Bomb Shelter Trilogy,” with Waitin’ To Be Seen serving as the series finale. Beyond his music, Bullinger’s journey is as compelling as his songs. After a successful career in renewable energy, where he co-founded one of North America’s largest solar power developers, Bullinger has fully embraced his lifelong passion for music. His previous albums, including 2022’s True Rendition and 2023’s How to Bleed, garnered critical acclaim, with tracks charting at #1 on NACC Folk and accumulating millions of views on YouTube and Vevo. With Waitin’ To Be Seen Part 2, Bullinger invites listeners to delve deeper into his world, where the lines between past and present blur, and every moment holds the potential for redemption. As Bullinger puts it, “I feel very grateful knowing that these songs are out there, connecting with people in ways I never imagined. Whether it’s one person or one million, the music is finally being seen.” Waitin’ To Be Seen, Part 2
