Rising star Eve Simpson reveals her brand new magnificent single “I Can See a Face“
A folk-infused waltz at its core, Eve intertwines her delicate vocal melodies with stripped back guitar plucks and cinematic strings, delivering her sound effortlessly, infused with harmony and sincerity. The song’s yearning melodies are simply irresistible and it’s no wonder that Eve Simpson is a hotly tipped new face on the scene.
Talking about the new track, Eve Simpson shares: “I wrote ‘I Can See a Face’ in my student flat overlooking the Salisbury Crags last year. It was a Winter’s night, and I allowed my mind to wander as it did when I was a child, bursting into imaginative nostalgia and escapism. I saw my childhood self within the inanimate crags, longing for human interaction and acceptance. This child-like fantasy runs throughout the whole song, whispered when recorded at the SAE Institute in Glasgow, and later finished at Loft Music Studios, Newcastle. It embraces vulnerability within a new Caledonian setting, and perhaps hints at the longing to maintain the person we’ve always been when moving to new places. It tries to combine honest songwriting, with haunting escapism, accompanied by my friends on production, fiddle, and percussion.”
Inspired by the greats Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, and Laura Marling, SandDancer Eve Simpson has co-written with, and supported, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, UB40, Cattle & Cane, The Lake Poets, and Callum Pitt.
