London-based Swanson has won praise from critics for her ability to infuse complexity and feeling into he music and for me, her new release “In Touch” is no exception.
Three Generations
This song distinguishes itself with its usage of three generations of female voices, each reciting poetry emphasising the ideas of time passing, contemplation, and connectedness. This creative method produces a composition that seems both close-knit and large. The mournful yet uplifting way the voices are layered gives listeners a thoughtful experience that stays long after the song finishes.
Unexpected Musical Change
Marsha’s intentional insertion of an unexpected musical change gives the song a surprising variability. Her aim, as she says, was to produce something both very personal and broadly relevant. She does this beautifully, enthrals listeners with the changing soundscape while asking them to consider universal human events.
Complementing the single’s appeal, the official video created by award-winning Sam Chegini promises a visually breathtaking accompaniment to the tune upon its premiere.
“In Touch” is evidence of Marsha Swanson’s talent—poignant, creative, and quite unforgettable. This song asks us to investigate our shared humanity in addition to reflecting her creative vision.
