[junkie-dropcap]W[/junkie-dropcap]e don’t go gently into love, we often fall in head first. As humans, our nature is as such. To love and desire love. Keeping your heart also open to the idea that things may not work out. Tommy Versailles shines brightly during these dark moments. She has a way of bringing the hope, fear and frustration of broken relationships center stage. A beautiful reminder of love’s keen sting while channeling the glamor of times prior. Her sound is full, her persona fierce, while her feelings border on unforgiving. A perfect balance between joy and sadness, pleasure and pain, and everything in between.
Sonically her voice fills the spectrum, floating effortlessly over soulfully laden production. Cuts of bassy and smokey instrumentation give way to her perfect alto, yet Versailles can shift to a glorious soprano and falsetto at will while not shying away from her milky tenor tone when necessary. Sweet as honey, her voice is kin to the golden years of Floetry with hints of Jill Scott tucked away somewhere. The music and subject-matter are personable, relatable and honest. We’ve all felt the way she feels in her music. Standout records such as “Love, Actually” feature collaborator Elias Scott as the two showcase their vulnerabilities from both perspectives.
Olivia Dean Captivates on Her Latest Offering “Baby Come Back”
The record “You Don’t Care” is a personal favorite. Pulling inspiration from the 1973 Genesis cut “Dancing With The Stars”. Which Outkast also sampled in “SpottieOttieDopaliscious”. The track drops into such a great vibe, the laid back tempo gives Tommy the space to sport her dynamically rich tone, supported with airy-backing vocals. For a moment, all is right with the world. It’s an essential tune and worth every minute. While we fall back into our own during these moments, to open up to healing is our first step. Tommy Versailless may aid you in your journey if you let her.
