An engaging track out today from Nashville-based artist Jesse Lynn Madera, “Make It Out” stirs in its range of heartfelt piano and ascending guitar twangs — set amidst a captivating vocal presence, calling for unity in striving for an improved world. Marking the first single since Madera’s sophomore album Speed of Sound, “Make It Out” dazzles in its overall evolution, expanding cohesively from the piano-set introspection to string-laden chills and melodic guitar additions.
Lyrical references to division and a hope for peace resonate initially, as Madera’s vocal presence alternates seamlessly between serene introspection and invigoration statements — “could it be somehow, the worst is over now?” as the twangy guitars enter. “Can we make it out?” they further progress, as the steadier arsenal of percussion, strings, and piano assemble with immersive, emotive enthrallment. A particularly empowering vocal drive approaches the three-minute mark, hoping that the worst has passed and greater unity lies ahead. “Make It Out” is another stirring success from Jesse Lynn Madera.
