Floridian songbird Gileah Taylor returns to us with her new record Slow Parade. It’s her version of fan mail to the defining sounds of eras gone by – from 1940s Hollywood movies and singers to the music that came out of Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and 70s. The songwriting on Slow Parade is intimate and immersive. The songs themselves have a vintage, well-worn feel to them, featuring an enchanting string quartet bolstered by a confident and mellow full band.

What makes the album special is Gileah’s gift for imbuing her classic sounding songs with thoughtful perspectives on the modern world. She touches on longtime love, the inexplicable feeling of hope in moments of loss and the passing of time. The record was written in a quiet, lonely season and while these songs touch on the darkness she found herself in, they are full of the romantic optimism that Taylor fans will recognize.

Slow Parade was recorded between Florida and Tennessee with the help of producers and brothers Gideon and Gabriel Klein. The sounds they designed, working from Taylor’s simple demos, merge layers of strings, twangy Americana guitars and subtle electronic flourishes. The end result sounds heartwarming on the surface with a little sadness beneath, all held together by her distinctively unpretentious and emotionally stirring vocals.
