What if you could write a letter to your younger self – explaining the ups, downs, weird times, and sorrow, pinpointing how things may appear and how things will really reveal themselves? Well, that is exactly what American Alternative singer/songwriter Tess Posner did on her latest single “Feral Child.” The track begins with evocative instrumentation and a deeply rich vocal that climbs through the lead onto the hook. It is a tract that gives its listeners a duality of emotions with it being both quietly exciting and full of dreamlike fire in the same manner that first catching one’s reflection in a mirror creates.
Much like the Eurythmics’ music back in the 1980’s, “Feral Child” is the type of song that sets its own standard and becomes infectious due to its driving, pulsating, inner musical core, created by percussions and synths, and Posner’s visceral lyrics brought to life by her subtle, yet commanding, vocals. To hear a song with a story that has a purpose is like magic in today’s music scene. “Feral Child” is a great artistic interpretation of an artist mentoring her younger self. This song will snag you. I love it!
