Heaven By Eric Tingstad

I have very fond memories of the music of Eric Tingstad; I surrounded myself back in 2007 with the ever timeless tones of Sunrise in Four Corners from his 2007 release entitled Southwest. Here today some 18 years later I have the pleasure to write a review for his latest single entitled Heaven.

This lush and textured new creation has an abundance of guitar, as you would of course expect from the composer, but here we can enjoy electric, acoustic and slide, and an ever onward progression of a song that is utterly beautiful, and I guess heavenly.

The gentle approach here from Tingstad is well received; there is a tender build and progression, but one that manifests a timbre that flourishes in every new stage it reaches, this is a crafted and cultured release, one of sublime high quality that you might expect from the performer.

Each note and each string is manifested with a soft backdrop of sound, and a slight but pertinent crescendo to birth for me one of the best guitar tracks I have heard this year with ease, and one destined to be a very big chart hit indeed.
