In her latest single, “Last Call,” the sensational West Virginia-born and Houston-raised artist Jesse Lynn Madera, featuring the seasoned Dan Navarro, creates a poignant folk narrative reflecting the compromises and considerations behind a long-lasting relationship. Released on February 16, this track is the second single from her upcoming album, Speed of Sound, set to release on March 15.
The song, co-wrote by Madera and Navarro, benefits from the production prowess of Grammy-award-winning producer Jim Scott. “Last Call” unfolds with shimmering acoustic guitars that create a mesmerizing backdrop against the jangling percussion and pattering beats. Overlapping with the glinting piano keys, Madera’s husky and authentic vocals convey passion, vulnerability, and timeless longing.
Navarro’s duet vocal adds emotional depth and unity to Madera’s performance. As the lyrics delve into nostalgia, introspection, and the bittersweetness of love, Madera’s poetic storytelling shines through, capturing the nuances of nurturing a connection with grace and sincerity. Throughout “Last Call,” Madera and Navarro get transparent and touchy through the highs and lows of enduring relationships and show us how the choices made sustained the spark.
Lines like “I would’ve been a better man / Oh honey I’m a warrior” underscore the raw honesty and vulnerability embedded within the song’s lyrical narrative. They sing the poignant chorus, repeating “Last call of the evening / First call of the morning,” with an anticipating passion representing love’s cyclical nature that burns with hope and trust.
Madera is returning this March with an entire album, Speed of Sound, produced by Navarro, seven-time Grammy winner Scott, and Grammy winner Ryan Hadlock. Stay tuned with the sincere stars Jesse Lyn Madera and Dan Navarro to catch upcoming live performance dates.
