Bridget Kelly Quinn is a singer-songwriter based in Edinburgh. With Isla, Bridget takes us back to the days of the jazz music that went down easy during a night alongside your favorite drink and the starry sky. If you like music that feels alive and not influenced by the modern influence of electronic music, this one’s for you.
Isla is a dreamy waltz that is both nostalgic and deliciously elegant to the ears, serving a nice romantic piano tune to all fans of singer-songwriter music. The reflective song on the rollercoaster ride of life is best summarized by Bridget’s request that “If you could be anything, please be kind.” Ultimately, the piece is most memorable because of Bridget’s amazing voice.
Bridget’s voice sits nicely on top of the piano’s midrange, able to dance around the higher end frequencies with ease. It’s a voice that could easily be recognized at a speakeasy from yesteryear, but here we are in 2021 with an authentic sound that transcends eras.
In just two minutes and eighteen seconds, Isla delivers a repeatable tune that feels genuine and refreshing in this day in age of overproduced digital music. The abrupt ending is a neat touch within the context of Isla’s message of taking each day as it comes.
For fans of stripped down music where it’s just a vocalist and an instrument, you will enjoy this heartfelt tune with all sincerity. I love that this song is short and Bridget has left me wanting more. We look forward to more beautiful music from Bridget Kelly Quinn.
