A lush yet emotive folk and alt-pop appeal shows on “God You’re Gifted,” a new track from B. Hawksley, the project of South London-based songwriter, vocalist, and producer Alexa Harley. An affecting love song, the melodic production pairs with lyrics that seemingly capture a state of infatuation and the power of love’s arrival.
“I’ve been waiting my life for this,” heightened vocal layers consume a serene acoustic guitar backing, bolstered by gentle rhythms as the “bring me back,” reflections come. This evolves enjoyably into a more illuminated synth-forward mid-point and a yearning “to be loved,” — compelling in its dreamy, introspective sound. “God You’re Gifted” is a heartfelt, melodic winner from B. Hawksley.
