DSD May 12, 2017: "Light" - Lynette Williams
Shaun Cordingley
Welcome to the "Daily Song Drop": theguysfrom.com's song of the day feature where our resident indie music writer and former DJ Shaun Cordingley features a song every weekday that he feels you need to hear.
Light - Lynette Williams
I'm always a sucker for a good, (deceptively) simple song, and New York singer/songwriter Lynette Williams has released a lovely indie soul/folk called "Light" which is just that. Relying totally on vocals and acoustic guitar, "Light" is one of those tracks that I knew needed to be on DSD as soon as I heard it.
Check out the track below:
Williams' voice is wonderful; she is an excellent storyteller, as she never seems to be trying too hard, giving her lyrics an emotional realism that can often be lost in songs like "Light". Listening to this song is a lot like having a deep, perhaps regretful conversation about a relationship, and connecting to another person, all wrapped up in three minutes.
Williams feels like one of those artists that would be absolutely amazing to see live, in a small, intimate venue, and I hope that you, if you enjoyed "Light" will give her EP Love Thee, Not Chaos from last year a look as well, for more, intimate, beautiful indie soul/folk.
The DSD Playlist - Apr 17 is now available! We are sadly missing one song from the last month (again), but I'm pretty happy with how this one all came together!
ICYMI (somehow) here is the DSD Playlist - Mar 17 , and there's also one kicking around for DSD Playlist - Feb 17 too!
