A quiet honesty runs through Becca Kidwell's new release, "Something Drastic," one that slowly unfolds with every piano note and lingering string arrangement. The song has an intimate, cinematic feel, built on a contemporary singer-songwriter base with a touch of modern jazz.
At the center of the song is the feeling of being stuck in repeating patterns and wishing for a new direction. Kidwell approaches the emotional card with grace and restraint. The reflective piano largely maintains the emotional weight, while cinematic strings add depth and movement, giving the track a timeless quality.
"Something Drastic" is particularly compelling thanks to Kidwell's sincere delivery. Since the release of her debut album, "What You Don't See," Becca Kidwell has continued to show that she can write emotionally dense music with grace and genuineness. And "Something Drastic" leaves a lingering feeling, reminding us that the search for change, even in moments of uncertainty, can still be beautiful.
