It’s a good song that proves again that it’s not about how soon you make music, it’s about how good you make music. “Echoes of Paradise” starts off relaxed, as if the songwriter is a seasoned flyer who knows what she’s looking for to say.
After years of family and friends, and letting her dreams go, Elisabeth started her recording career later in life. That story is beneath it all and that’s what makes the song honest, like some younger artists take years to find. The first tune is gentle, but lets you settle into your day. A sense of familiarity permeates the production, a sense that calls back to another time without becoming dated. It creates an atmosphere that is maintained throughout the track.
Elisabeth’s voice is perfectly in the middle of the song. The delivery is somewhat soft, but truly confident, as though she has been repeating herself the words before she began singing. It’s personal and not fragile. The song develops and then additional layers are added in but never overpower. No confusion, and all the sound that follows is a smooth extension of where the song began, rather than a sudden jump.
The setting is full and expansive, more than a typical pop song would be. It’s more of an all-encompassing approach, almost as if it’s intended to be used on a larger stage than just a pair of headphones. At the conclusion of it, ‘Echoes of Paradise’ leaves you somewhere calm and settled. Elisabeth Grey has composed a song that isn’t rushed, but that is earned, and that’s what makes it worth returning to.
