Single Review - All Of Me - Kezia Gill

There’s suddenly so much to look forward to, not just the promise of Summer, sunshine, and longer days, but also festivals – and a new EP from Silverball Country Female Artist of the Year Kezia Gill.  We’ve already had the first track from it, and now Kezia is releasing the next single – All Of Me.

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
