"Walkaway" showcases palpable emotions with sincerity and transports me to an intimate, private show in a low-lit lounge where the light seems to continue to dim but never leave altogether. Comfort is found in and amongst the verses that tell the all-too-relatable story of complex sorrow and imminent loss. The fresh single, rife with emotion, is tailor-made for the cathartic indulgence of the emotions less popular than their romanticized counterparts.
Stripped-back production places the underpinning elements at center stage; powerful vocals croon poignant lyrics against the backdrop of classic piano balladry that holds steady, unwavering in shoring up the song's fine-tuned and wonderfully simple structure. Layered production featuring gentle waves and an encompassing vibration provides the track with an undeniable depth. A slow crescendo builds with the introduction of fervent bass and clean percussion loops that lead us to the bittersweet fading out of "Walkaway".
