The best relationships rekindle hopes and dreams. Piper Connolly kicks off this summer romance with hints of nostalgia in her recent single "Beautiful Life." She sings "Give me a sign/I'm by your side, infatuated/ We were blasting that song in the car of the band that I always thought was overrated." The right person ignites every song and every subject with excitement. Connolly owns the optimism of someone who wishes on every star (and maybe every airplane). Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Connolly strikes up the match, shining a light on all the small thrills.
Connolly sparks the dreamer-mind with retro, groovy synths, sweet vocals, and a funky bassline in "Beautiful Life". This is a windows-down, shades on, seventy miles per hour down the highway type of love. The deep, vibrating bass replicates a strut down the sidewalk to the car, with her chin held high. Her light, charming voice flows with the melody like the breeze that rustles the palm trees and winds through ocean waves. All the simple joys come back into frame. The '80s synths explode with the bright, neon adrenaline, reminiscent of John Hughes's adventures.
Phoenix-based singer-songwriter Connolly strums her guitar to a blend of genres. Most often, she jams out to alt-pop and rock-pop, breaking down themes of identity, ambition, young love, and heartbreak. She began performing at five years old, singing at Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row. Connolly comes from a musical family. She worked with vocal coach Tara Simon and Jan Smith Studios. Connolly continues to rock out to her own beat. Check out the links below!
