If you are looking for beautiful and soulful vocals that will touch your heart in the most emotional way, then ‘Jolene’ by Sugarfoot would be a great listen. Part of the album, ‘Long Time Comin’, the track truly redefines heartbreak.
‘Jolene’ is a song that is beautifully vulnerable, the plea of someone begging another woman not to take the one she loves wholeheartedly. There is a sense of resignation rather than desperation– a quieter, more powerful melancholy that is laced throughout the song. The song brings out the feelings of insecurity and longing, and all emotions attached in a way that will resonate with all of us.
A very melodic piano with delicately played notes serves as the foundation of the track, and the vocals seamlessly harmonize, making the track feel very intimate and immersive. The vocals are soulful, yet there is a sense of restraint in the artist’s voice that gives the track its fragility. The piano notes, as well as the vocals, grow powerful as the track progresses, giving more power to the persuasion, almost sounding convincing. As much as the track is a cry of help, it doesn’t shout for attention. It seeps slowly into the air, filling it with its trembling and delicate performance.
It’s a track you’ll keep coming back to, because hearing it once is not enough. You can listen to the track ‘Jolene’ by Sugarfoot on popular platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube.
