“Providence” is a catching new track from Laurence Murray Project, channeling a bluesy, soulful vein of rock — reminding of Paul Weller. Enthusiastic guitar twangs and a pulsing key-laden backbone establish an engrossing intro. Smooth vocals plead “tell me your secrets, babe, I wanna get inside,” with a yearning captivation. The vocals and guitar work assume a flowing vigor as the track progresses, with sporadic eruptions of guitar-fronted moments engaging each time.
“We recorded ‘Providence’ at the UK’s most remote recording studio in the Scottish Western isles,” the group writes. “It’s a guitar driven song about dreams and unconditional love.”
Fronted by Edinburgh, Scotland-based singer/songwriter/guitarist Laurence Murray, this project shows ample ability throughout “Providence,” the group’s first studio release. Look for their debut album, Still, later this year.
