Trudy and the Romance - “Her Cadillac”

From the United Kingdom, Trudy and the Romance have arrived on our blog with “Her Cadillac,” a folk-rock romp through a doomed love affair.
To be quite honest, “Her Cadillac” is not the style of music that we typically feature; however, let us explain how it easily won us over… Above a string of auxiliary vocals and some shimmering guitar, the drum kit readies the rhythm. A high melody from the keys descends upon the arrangement, and the track is off like a shot.
As robust and exciting as the instrumental has been populated, we were ultimately enchanted by the grittiness of the vocal performance, which lands “Her Cadillac” within our penchant for overdriven tube saturation. If you enjoy a tune with a darker themed variety of storytelling, this tale is delivered in a fashion that will, no doubt, work its way beneath your skin.
There’s a delightful dynamic between the smooth and crisp elements of the arrangement and the warm overdrive of the main vocal, bridged together by multiple layers of backing vocals. Towards the end, “Her Cadillac” reveals a more stripped-back break that lands closer to our genre remit, but we anticipate many of you quickly falling in love with the enitre thing.
About “Her Cadillac,” the artist offers: "This is the story of an attraction between two lovers who are afraid to be alone but desolate when together. Only when her Cadillac drove away for the final time, did it take away the loneliest part of his heart.”
