GABRIELLE APLIN – SINGLE REVIEW

Gabrielle Aplin – Waking Up Slow 
Gabrielle Aplin - Waking Up Slow


Release Date: Out Now

“Heaven help me, my mind changes like the wind” are the opening lyrics to this latest release from bright hope Gabrielle Aplin, new single ‘Waking Up Slow’. Lyrically, there are some nice touches to this song and there’s an underlying bass sequence which suggests something close to an edge, lurking in the shadows. However, we’re just a millennial whoop away from this being a Taylor Swift or Carly-Rae Jepson tune and that kinda sucks all the uniqueness out of this. Sure, it’s breathy and uplifting in a reliable way that KFC will always fill you up but never really leave you satisfied. I had hoped for more, I have to be honest, and I’m sad that this track didn’t deliver.
