Soft and subtle, ‘A Reminder’ sees vocalist and songwriter Gillian Rae Perry put on a soothing piece of alternative folk music that’s downright transcendental. The classically trained artist clearly has a background that lends itself to her capability in producing such meticulously arranged tracks. The soundscape seems minimal, but in reality it’s comprised of so much, just tuned to a point of subtlety that gives the song its dreamy and ethereal sounding energy.
Strings, synths, and serenading vocals completely captivate you while listening to this song which feels like a warm blanket that’s meant to crush away all the doubt and worry that niggles in the back of your mind. It’s a love letter to yourself, gifted to you in a package that’s so markedly blissful and magical. Gillian Rae Perry’s ability to work with seemingly minimalist soundscapes and transform them into something so intricate and wondrous is a pleasure to experience.
