Judy by David Taro: Review

There are songs that talk about depression, love, loss, and the world as a whole, and among it all lives Judy, a character built from a melody by Singer-Songwriter David Taro. So, won’t you hear Judy’s tale? Because according to David, her life is mundane, yet she’s comfortable in all of life’s predicaments and feels content throughout it. The music is captured beautifully by the somber acoustic guitar tone and as it is being strummed, an aura of indie-pop soothes your soul.

David’s musical talents arrive from the UK, specifically in South London. Listening to his song “Judy” made me feel connected to this imaginary but realistic individual he is trying to portray. We all know Judy, hence the music and lyrics paint a picture so vivid and eye-opening that it’s tough not to establish a connection to the rhythm on a deeper level. The drum tracks in this number cover a minimalist beat, and it mixes perfectly with the clean vocals and guitar melody. David’s vocals embody a sense of tranquility, you feel at peace whenever he hits the high notes and expresses the lower notes too.

Now, the lyrics, which in their entirety are the best part of the song. You could close your eyes, dim the lights, and just hear David singing, and talking about Judy’s hypothetical life, if possible you could even imagine being in Judy’s shoes. The lead guitar is simple and accompanies the minimalist nature of the song brilliantly.
