In need some emotive folk music? Then you need to hear about Reece Sullivan, a Louisiana-based folk artist who is preparing to release his latest album, ‘Gethsemane’, coming February 23rd. In preparation for this release, Sullivan has decided to lead with two singles, ‘All the While I Was Away’, coming on February 10th, and ‘Don’t Fail Me Now’, coming a week later on February 17th – if the album is anything like the singles, then we’re all in for a treat. Don’t miss this!
Looking into the first single, ‘All the While I Was Away’, it’s clear that Reece Sullivan is able to bring an emotional, stripped back feel to his music, showing off his vocal ability and guitar ability instantly. Keeping you hooked on his powerful, emotive delivery and staying for the pure storytelling qualities it shows, it’s a track that very quickly becomes a favourite. Showcasing Sullivan’s talents in a raw, pure form, it’s a fantastic introduction to his music and himself as an artist. Blowing you away from the first to the last second, it’s clear to see why this was chosen to lead the album upon its release.
The second single, ‘Don’t Fail Me Now’, Sullivan follows up on the same fantastic, stripped feel to his emotive, storytelling music that quickly grabs and holds your attention. This track has an added element of what sounds like a cello, creating a layer of music that only adds to the emotion and progression of the music, giving this track a brilliant feature that solidifies itself as a single that is more than worth your time.
Both singles demonstrate a clear musical talent that needs and deserves to be heard. Music that is this rich in storytelling doesn’t come around all that often, especially music that sounds this good. Reece Sullivan easily delivers vocal and musical performances that make both singles the perfect warm up for what the album may bring – if it follows in the footsteps of the singles, and provides a focus on vocals and lyrics with the support of simple, yet brilliant music, then it will be an album that you cannot possibly ignore. Coming on February 23rd, you cannot let ‘Gethsemane’ pass you by!
