Flowers for Emily

To be honest I was apprehensive about writing this review,
not because of anything else other than I happen to know this beautiful tune is
in memory of his recently passed dog, and I have a much loved dog, who is not
in the best of health as well, so it’s a tender thing for me, but listening to
this gratifying new age masterpiece by the artist changed my somewhat
depressing musings, to ones of gratefulness and gratitude, the song is called Flowers for Emily by the ever brilliant
Fred Grenot.
This for me is one of the most heartfelt and fluent new age
tracks that I believe he has created thus far. Certain tones and keyboard
elevations reminded me of Llewellyn’s
Journey to the Angels album, and
indeed this brand new single retained most lovingly, an essence of early 21st
century new age classic motifs, like Medwyn
Goodall and the aforementioned artist, with those gentle uplifting keyboard
narratives and soothing refrains.
The compositional structures were elevated further when an
ethereal vocalisation joined the arrangement, and energies of peace,
tranquillity, and transcendence were delightfully created. I must state now,
that this has to be one of the finest examples of modern day new age music,
with a perfect consistent tone and timbre, and a deeply charming melodic
structure, all of which should elevate this single to the higher echelons of
the charts, and what a fitting tribute for Emily that would be!
