E. Lundquist – Let Me Down Easy with Taylor Williams
“Let Me Down Easy” is a daydream led by Taylor Williams’ soaring vocals. It is seemingly an effortless ball of energy that weaves its way from start to finish and never quits. Its consistent presence never leaves room for the track to wander, reminiscent of an old 45. Williams’ voice guides the experience with a silky smooth delivery that leaves you hanging on to every word.
The music has an old classic soul feel to it and just needed the right singer to bless the tune. Taylor has so much range and is incredibly talented; the chemistry was just on point for the recording session. So much so that the session was initially intended only for Williams to sing lead vocals on “Morning Sunrise”. It just so happened that he knocked it out so quickly that he had the opportunity to hear some of the remaining tracks being considered for the album that were yet to have a vocal recorded.
Williams’ buttery voice, his sense of rhythm, and turns of phrase make this a track hard to ignore. You don’t hit repeat on this track on accident, you do it on purpose, and you do it over and over again. The sonic treatment on the vocal and its place in the mix launches it into the conversation of timeless: it’s a love scene, it’s heartbreak, it’s a plea for gentleness, it’s a tender cinematic montage.
There is a gentleness and whimsical nature to her delivery; it feels as if it is holding your hand through a spiritual experience. It’s the warm butter on a piece of perfectly baked bread. You can’t get enough of this feeling, and it gives reason to want to listen to the whole record.
