Hailing from Ireland, singer-songwriter SAL has released her heartwarming new single ‘Red Wine’ which is a serene offering that showcases her delicate vocals and captures the hearts of those who can’t let go and aren’t fond of change in their lives.
SAL, using thought-provoking lyricism and a hint of pop sensibilities enables elements of slick guitar licks and caramel smooth and melting basslines to create the perfect Sunday morning soundtrack.
Speaking about the single, SAL says: “I wrote ‘Red Wine’ in the depths of winter by candlelight. It’s a song about struggling to let go and facing a painful truth. A longing to hold on to how things used to be and knowing that the weight of love you have for someone might always feel like an indulgence but it’s all that you know. The song fell out of me effortlessly, it almost felt like the song was waiting for me to write it. I recorded ‘Red Wine’ with a recording collective here in Cork, Ireland called Catalyst. I have never felt more at ease and comfortable in a recording setting. The song just fell into place without much discussion between the musicians, producer or myself about what was needed. It was all extremely intuitive, gentle and fell into place so beautifully. The trumpet and piano were tracked after the live recording. These embellishments added so much more sadness and vulnerability to the song, which complimented the lyric in the most perfect way”
