Garland Kelley surprises us with lush acoustic music with his new single, โThe Higher Road.โ As someone with a diverse musical background, the versatile singer and songwriter has come up with a much serene and peaceful song. The acoustic guitar chords are absolutely satiating, despite the few instruments used. He creates an Americana, alternative folk, and blues-rock ambience with the engaging strings deployed all at once, replenishing the sonic space.
Itโs the contrasting elements in โThe Higher Roadโ that make it so interesting. It facilitates a rock aura with its minimalistic acoustic effects and still turns out to be a soulful ballad with heartfelt lyrics. The way Garland sings, โI will be your morning if you will be my sun,โ makes me melt. Itโs simply sung with no interesting vocal pattern, but the way itโs sung, you can tell it comes from the heart.
Garland has an idyllic vision of love, with his sights set on heaven and the sky, he only sees the The Higher Road. And the road is visualized in the whimsical cover art. The cover art has a green color grading over a heavenly, peaceful road thatโs bound to bring you only luck and love.
โThe Higher Roadโ by Garland Kelley is here to take you off your feet to a higher ground with its atmospheric sound. This sensational alternative folk song awaits for your ears to be blessed and for your heart to feel related to. Listen to it now!
