Clearly, Kezia has been
experimenting with cross genre music of late, and her popular Friday night
livestreams with different themes each week demonstrated just what a range she
has, and this latest release is part of that.
An almost dark opening guitar gives way to the recognisable vocal as Kezia starts this tale of a woman so in love with a great man that she is terrified she could never be enough for him
Kezia Gill possesses a powerful voice,
and it’s a voice that can set your feet tapping or evoke strong emotions. This time around it is somewhere between
Blues and Soul but with a rock edge – it would be hard to pin Kezia down to one
style, one genre, although her song writing is very much in the Country
tradition, albeit with a UK slant.
All Of Me is stripped back to keep the emphasis on
the voice, the words, reflecting the raw emotion of the song, the way that the
story teller is opening herself up and offering her whole self to a man that
she fears she is not good enough for.
A powerful song with a powerful singer
needs to be matched with the instrumentation, provided by Phil Donnelly (Guitar) and Chris
Brice (Drums). The song was mixed and mastered in Nashville by Grammy-Award nominated Justin Cortelyou @ Soul
Train Studios who has ensured a superb, finished product without adding
anything unnecessary to the mix (which seems to be the current Nashville trend)
Emotive,
Powerful, Vulnerable – both the story and the performance.
All Of Me, the new single from Kezia Gill, will be available to download and stream from Friday 28 May 2021
You can find and follow Kezia on Facebook, Instagram, her website and on Spotify, as well as live at Craic By The Creek, Buckle and Boots and Tennessee Fields Festivals
