Introduced by a tender, heartwarming piano and Parsons’ luscious vocals, ‘In Between’ fits the ‘slow-burn’ category, initiating an introspective and poignant aural journey that starts small and ends in a grandiose, triumphal allure. In fact, not long after the first verse, the record adds a wealth of orchestral strings and cinematic textures, laying the groundwork for a further explosion, one where Elissa showcases her full-bodied, potent vocal tone and nostalgic, lovable songwriting. Honestly, it’s a wonderful listening experience, a piece that’s both intimate and expansive, almost electrifying in its outro.
A global sensation, Elissa Parsons calls Melbourne her home. Drawing inspiration from her roots in gospel music and classic pop, the talented Aussie uncovers a sonic persona that’s relatable and familiar, yet bold and fearless. ‘In Between’ is the perfect evidence of that, and frankly, it’s one of the best songs we have heard in a while. Co-written with Alex Dukas and produced with Jared Haschek, ‘In Between’ serves as the living definition of ‘cinematic pop’.
Delving deeper into the song, Parsons explains: “It’s about the spaces between the big events in life. The everyday moments where you feel safe, known, and deeply held. Whether with a loved one or in the presence of something bigger than yourself- it’s that intangible comfort that stays with you.”
