As a fan of the UK Country
music scene, you will surely have come across Kezia Gill and Jade Helliwell –
be it on their own headline tours, their joint “Girls Night In” tour or perhaps
at one of the various festivals around the UK.
Both have their own loyal followings, built in part during lockdown with
livestreams – which spawned the “Friday Night Club” for Kezia. Lockdown (can we talk about that as just history
now?) also led to remote songwriting sessions for many – and especially for two
best friends.
The outcome of one of these
sessions – and only the second time of collaborating this way for Kezia – was the
song How Long Have You Known. Now
three years on from its creation and after performing it together live on many occasions
the pair have now recorded it for release on Friday 31 May.
Written about the shock of
finding out your partner is leaving, the song and the performance are emotion
laden, reflecting that bolt from the blue feeling
Didn’t see it coming, didn’t think you’d break my heart
Accompanying the two
powerful vocal performances is a beautiful string arrangement which blends perfectly
and highlights the soulful delivery and feel of the song.
As well as being able to now
download or stream the song, you’ll have the chance to hear both of these
artists live later this year, as Jade takes to the road in October for her How
Love Goes acoustic tour while Kezia will be touring in October and November
with her The Story So Far tour. Tickets
for both are available now and selling fast!
How Long Have You Known,
the new song from Kezia Gill and Jade Helliwell
is available on all platforms from Friday 31 May
