Single Review - Wings - Kezia Gill

 

Kezia Gill is a superb songwriter, but she really excels when she writes from experience, from her life and from the heart.  Wings is one of those songs.

When Kezia sings she is talking straight to you, she has something she wants you to hear – whether it is the story of her Father in Local Man’s star, or the promise of support in “I’m Here”.  With all the upheaval and changes in 2020 – and losing her much loved and inspirational Father – Kezia wants you to know that life is for living, that you shouldn’t let it pass you by

What good is life if it passes you by? What good are wings if you don’t fly? 

The whole track is absolutely driven by Kezia’s distinctive voice – a voice that has started to be recognised by awards, including the Silverball Country Award for Best Female Vocalist.  Light guitar with the opening, punctuating her words, keys adding to the emotion – both piano and electric organ combining, before the slow, measured drum beat joins.  The track has been produced by Richard Lundh and he has kept a natural sound, no need for over production with Kezia!

This is a beautiful ballad that sweeps you along with lyrics that will relate to all.

Even with the addition of backing vocals – layered and sounding like a choir before the guitar break – don’t change that this song is all about Kezia’s vocal and the message that she wants to share.  Dance with somebody; take the time to explore, don’t put things off and don’t be afraid to take a chance – life your life to its fullest basically and share it with someone special.

Wings, the new single from triple Silverball Country Award winner Kezia Gill is available to download and stream from 27 November.
