Epilogue by Suzanne Gailey: Review
“Epilogue” is a folk song by Suzanne Gailey that captivates you with its narrative and rhythm. She’s a songstress based in Brighton, UK, and releases an evocative melody in this piece. Along with the musical caliber of Nick Williams, Suzanne’s tune brings an alluring folk song that will enchant the masses.
A soft acoustic riff fills the atmosphere of “Epilogue” and with Suzanne’s soothing voice keeping our senses calm, what else is there to ask for? Keeping the cadence fresh is a resonant piano section, where Nick’s melodic imprint is felt. Altogether, it creates an energy of folk music that keeps you gripped from the very first note. Coming back to the acoustic riff, and hearing it on repeat intrigued me. It doesn’t follow the usual tropes of folk music where fingerstyle mechanics are involved but rather infuses a bit of rock into the melody. The strumming technique has a commanding presence and directs the flow of the song. Which by the way is moody at times, but all the while fascinating to hear. Suzanne’s vocal style pertains to the aura of late 1960s and early 1970s folk as well as modern Americana. Furthermore, when the pianos enter the space it forms a bond with her voice that’s quite lovely I gotta say.
The poetry and essence of “Epilogue” by Suzanne Gailey drew me in immediately. It’s a track that does not waste a single second to form a polished tune, and I’m glad to have come across it, as we all should be.
