Mary Middlefield introduces herself to the world with her beautiful new single, ”Band-Aid.”
This delightful track talks about relationships and its music acts as a healing ‘band-aid’ across the pain that might have been suffered. It is soaring and reflective.
This young Swiss songwriter is moving with amazing confidence in "Band-Aid," which is straightforward, yet quite charming. Simple piano chords and melodious finger plucking open the song. Her singing moves over the music like a cool wind and exhibits a respectable airy range throughout the song. Electric guitar that occasionally reminds one of Fleetwood Mac from the 1970s serves as a compliment to the music's gradual development. The tapping drum sticks create a rhythm, like a train rolling along the tracks, taking us away to somewhere better. Beginning in the middle of the song, violins introduce a soaring, melancholy mood, dancing with the background ambient guitar swells. This musician clearly possesses a true knack for songwriting, and I adore how she has created something original and enchanting. The lyrics come off as direct, sincere, and sympathetic.
For fans of Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens, Phoebe Bridgers, Jack Van Cleaf, Christian Lee Hutson
