Chapters, New Single From Kirsty Clinch

Okay, so, I’m a little behind, recently opting to perfect my couch potato posture and consider hibernation, meaning I’ve not yet mentioned Kirsty Clinch’s new single Chapters, released at the beginning of the month, which I should have done. Why, you might ask, is it any good? Did you hear me right, it’s Kirsty Clinch?!

Eloquently sentimental as ever, Kirsty suggests it would make the perfect wedding song, and I’m inclined to agree, though I had my turn already, choosing Ben E King; for prospective newlyweds though, take heed! This bears all the hallmarks of a breezy country classic from the likes of Dolly or Wynette, with a contemporary sense subtler than Swift, that is, added bass by local legend Pete Lamb, who also mixed and mastered this delicate beauty recorded by Kirsty herself.

It trickles like water, with a loose narrative to be interpreted to suit your dreams too, but if there’s the opening of a new chapter of thoughtful prose, the character in the song admits to being too young to reminisce on previous chapters. In fact, it has been a few years since past chapters opened musically for Kirsty, her Evolution album was released in 2021. She has been concentrating on Westbury’s Award Winning music school, First Melodies, which she created to coincide with a series of preschool music books. I love this project as it’s perfect for Kirsty, but, it’s a warm welcome back to recording, as this song sure makes up for lost time!
