Greysha - 'Gold Glaze' Single Review

 

19 year old, Shropshire based singer/songwriter Greysha released 'Gold Glaze' on 20th October.  A beautiful and reflective song about looking back at key events in your life. Told from the perspective of growing up it touches on lots of subjects many teenagers will recognise in themselves, not wanting to be in class, rebellious piercings, also however the more serious and poignant subjects of family and looking back at happier times. 

As a subscriber to her mailing list from back when I bought the CD of her previous single 'Aspirin' , Greysha said of 'Gold Glaze' on release "I have poured my soul and a little part of who I am into this" The inflection and emotion she puts into the vocals literally make you feel this is true. A track with layered harmonies and cinematic strings, you smile and you even sing along to the "Gold Glaze" part but you also feel Greysha's pain at times..."Tell the darkness to stay back another day" 

Greysha said of the song "Gold Glaze was always about reflecting on my childhood and looking back, realising things I may not have realised back then. Growing up is tricky, and we all battle our demons in our own way. I think Gold Glaze is that symbolisation of constantly trying to cover up/push back, or 'glaze' over, the bad stuff"

'Gold Glaze' has had lots of radio play including BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio, Islington Radio, and look out for it on a certain 'The Only Way Is Indie' show next week on In Your Ears Music.
