In a previous article, we frantically asked ourselves if Celeste Marie Wilson was the ‘real deal’. We can confirm that she is, in fact, one of the most talented pop artists we have discovered this year. We use the term ‘pop rather loosely here, mainly to indicate popular music, songs that are melodic and relatable. At a deeper look, Wilson’s quality catalogue reveals the utmost loyalty to her Americana and Country roots, all drenched in contemporary allure and catchy hooks.
‘Willow’ is the perfect evidence of that. Unfolding as an anthemic, poignant ballad, the piece also carries a certain cinematic flair, especially during the heartwarming, showstopping chorus. Celeste Marie’s vocals are completely up to the task thanks to their malleable and evocative tone. She’s precise and moves with purpose, letting every word and line resonate with vigour and elegance.
From a lyrics standpoint, ‘Willow’ is as evocative as you expect it to be. Authentic, relatable songwriting has now become a personal brand for Wilson, a feature that goes a long way in highlighting her deep and striking storytelling. Diving deeper into the latest single and her upcoming album, Celeste explains: “Writing feels like breathing to me. To take these stories I’ve written and bring them to life with someone as brilliant as Jim Reilley is a dream”.
