Emily Laliotis' "Another Day" transcends sound ahead of upcoming EP
Emily Laliotis, an award-winning Folk and Americana singer songwriter currently based in LA, emerges as a modern-day troubadour with her enchanting and timeless musicality. Drawing inspiration from legendary artists like Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, and beyond, Laliotis infuses her inspired vocals with wit and grace, weaving personal stories of struggle, growth, and joy. In her latest single, "Another Day," Laliotis showcases her command of song form while exploring the concept of avoidance as a survival tactic. The result is a captivating track that has resonated deeply with us, a main factor in us recommending this song to all.
Laliotis' vocals, reminiscent of the great folk icons of the past, exude a timeless quality that transports listeners to an era when storytelling through music reigned supreme. Her training in so many different music styles shines through in her expressive delivery and mastery of vocal techniques. As she straddles the realms of old and new, Laliotis creates a sonic experience that feels both nostalgic and fresh, paying homage to her influences while carving her own artistic path.
In "Another Day," Laliotis delves into the complexities of avoidance as a coping mechanism, skillfully navigating the delicate balance between present concerns and postponed resolutions. The song's introspective lyrics and melody invite listeners to reflect on their own tendencies to delay facing difficult emotions or challenges. Through her poetic storytelling, Laliotis captures the universal experience of grappling with the inevitability of addressing our inner struggles and the promises we make to ourselves for "another day."
The production of "Another Day" is a testament to Laliotis' attention to detail and commitment to excellence too. Produced by Gregg Leonard, known for his work with Birds of Chicago, the track is flawlessly crafted, with each instrument finding its place in the tapestry of sound. Justin Andres on bass, Mathiessen Nisch-Quan on drums, and Gregg on electric guitar create a solid foundation that drives the song forward, while the piano work by the esteemed Phil Madeira adds a touch of elegance and depth. Without a doubt though, Emily’s voice shines the brightest and continually takes center stage.
