Sometimes, simplicity is key. EverWill knows that very well, penning a track that’s equally hard-hitting and relatable, with heartwarming and haunting lyricism on a bed of sharp guitars and striking instrumental allure. ‘Jazmyne Layne’ is exactly that: a personal effort, a highly meaningful and reflective piece steeped in romantic flair and evocative imagery. In it, EverWill doesn’t seek to reinvent the wheel – instead, it perfects it, following a blues-rock ballad formula that’s a perfect match for such a potent song.
Hailing from Omaha, Nebraska, talented singer-songwriter and musician William Griffey effectively showcases his eclectic musicianship, recording most of the vocals and instruments himself. Guided by fellow creatives Scott Robinson and Doug Van Sloan on production and mastering, respectively, EverWill is then able to pay a heartfelt homage to his partner for life, Jazmyne, as he slowly unfurls a timeless tale of love and attraction. As Griffey eloquently explains: “This song is a true story about how Jazmyne and I found love and stayed together; it’s my anthem to her.”
The listening experience is rather intense and emotional, all qualities that are facilitated by the copious number of guitars and sharp distortions. William’s vocals perfectly match the energy, with their earthy, jagged tone and strong charisma.
