Gorgeous in warm sentiment and gorgeous in warm melody, the new single from Sarah Morris has a simple aim: to lift you with joyful, hopeful words and music. ‘Glow’ does just that – it glows and shimmers with flowing tunefulness. Morris possesses a voice that is at once soft and powerful, clear and resonant, honeyed and smooth. It’s the highlight of this open-hearted song, her vocals floating over rich depths and layers, from Nice Salisbury’s soothing upright bass to Haley E Rydell’s soaring violin and harmonies. Multi-instrumentalist Dave Mehling is a talented player of piano, pedal steel, accordion, synth, guitar and percussion; he supplies a range of musical textures that swirl and elevate Morris’s voice.
The Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter has won a host of awards and plenty of acclaim during her musical career. A winner of the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Competition in 2018, she is also a three-time Midwest Country Music Organization Songwriter of the Year and her 2023 album, “Here’s To You”, was awarded Album of the Year by the Midwest Country Music Organization. The Lawrence University Conservatory of Music graduate has released seven albums, including the brand new “Say Yes”, which features this joyous single. Throughout the new collection, Morris explores the complexities and uncertainties of life and love in her distinctive tuneful tones. Enjoy.
