LISSY TAYLOR IS: HEALER
I love it when She’s a Stunner comes on when I’m driving on the freeway, and something just clicks, your heart picks up, and you can’t resist going a little faster. There’s this attention grabbing, bombastic element to the opening riffs, announcing Lissy’s sexy, smoky, even a little bluesy, vocal.
And yea, it’s that vocal that wraps you up, you can’t get away from it, it’s hypnotic. All the way through Lissy weaves the fantasy “she’s a stunner, everyone wants her”. And after taking a late night ride in a helicopter with Lissy, one that could easily end in passion or disaster for all involved, it only seems natural for a track entitled Healer to be the follow-up.
Healer champions the intricate complexity of relationships, intense emotions, and the best inside all of us, stacked up against the driving beat and machine gun riffs of another banging Summer indie anthem! With lines like; “cuz I’m a healer, I’ll give you everything I’ve got” and “I’ll always be right where you need me” this track makes you feel good, alive, and even wanting to do better. Such is the fire and desire that the track invokes.
Lissy describes the track as “inspired by people who go above and beyond to help others, rooted in selflessness and unconditional love. Healer was written during covid, where so many people were struggling but was inspired by how many acts of kindness were done by people to help others.”
Healer is a triumph, winding great riffs around powerful sultry vocals, underpinning delicate and passionate emotion. This feels like a great song to lead us into the last romantic breath of Summer, before the colors change again.
Being the third song of four singles planned for release in 2022, Healer carries forward from Young and She’s a Stunner, which asks with anticipation, has Lissy kept the best for last? We’ll need to stay tuned to find that part out, but regardless, Lissy has released an amazing body of work this year, and I’m not even counting the Young smooth house remix with Gab Hydes. Healer makes it 3 in a row in 22, a year of amazing music from Lissy Taylor!
