From forthcoming album, It Should Have Been Done with Ease (May 2024), Molly McKew is set to tug at heartstrings with her latest single, “The Shape of Grief.”
Carrying a weight of emotion that is palpable, the music exudes a sombre tone. Yet, amidst the melancholy, there exists a certain cadence that evokes a dual sensation, a poignant Celtic ballad intertwined with the soft, gentle melodies reminiscent of late 60s music, similar to the iconic sounds of The Mamas and The Papas. With Molly’s delicate and hushed vocals weaving seamlessly into the musical tapestry, “The Shape of Grief” transforms into a cathartic journey through the human experience.
Molly’s compelling narrative in “The Shape of Grief” invites listeners to embark on an exploration across a spectrum of emotions from profound sorrow to disbelief and despair. Soul-stirring melodies and heartfelt lyrics allows “The Shape of Grief” to be a song that is introspective yet able to focus on the resilience of the human heart.
