Singer-songwriter Cory Legendre makes us imagine what it must be like to live after losing your true love in his latest single, “Dressed in Black.” His latest release is an ode to his late parents, particularly his mother’s life following the passing of his father. Released on March 12, the anniversary of his father’s death twelve years ago, the song turns out to be a deeply personal and emotionally charged tribute.
The track opens with soft and slow guitars, gently glinting their steely chords before the drums emerge and envelop us in the heart-wrenching grief expressed through Legendre’s soft vocals. He delicately conveys the unquenchable sorrow of his late mother as he portrays her pain of losing her beloved husband. The chorus, with its poignant lyricism—”she lived up to a vow/now she’s dressed in black”—strikes a chord in our hearts and punctuates the loss and longing that permeates the song.
“Dressed In Black” is only the first single from his upcoming album, REUNITED. With his mother’s recent passing, the story of the album is finally complete, with his parents reunited in the afterlife. Through loss, he sees the pain his mother was removed from and the hope that beckons all of them.
The 31-year-old singer-songwriter, author, entertainer, and radio show host Cory Legendre has explored and given the best of pop, rock and country, with his talent demonstrated onstage. Listen to “Dressed in Black” to remember to cherish your loved ones before it’s too late.
