Words by Anselm Anderson
Last month I wrote about an emerging talent named Storm, originally from Germany. The dual nationality German/South African singer, songwriter and actress arrived onto the scene with hard-hitting single Sinnerville, based on the subject of self-harm. You can find the full article in the link below. Click Here to read.
Storm now returns with follow up single Gypsy, due for release on Thursday, October 1st. This song indicates a change in direction to her predecessor into a country blues one about a free-spirited person. Another subject I think we could all gravitate towards sometime in our lives.
The song kicks in with a slide guitar intro segues into rhythmic guitar play by the lady herself. A mid-tempo gradually builds to the bridge, before lead guitarist Mark Dreyer intercepts with fierce riffs. Storm's soulful vocals engage the listener with her passion and energy. The funky rhythm guitar maintains that composure throughout, leaving a feeling of leading anywhere. I felt this supplemented the message behind Gypsy that life is unexpecting. The song forms resolution with a scintillating solo that builds into a dual-guitar jam session to complete another successful outing for this up and comer.
Gypsy represents another worthy example of strong songwriting, relatable lyrics, and crafted musicianship sure to win over a few more fans.
Gypsy is released on October 1st via all good music platforms
