There’s something intoxicating about listening to ‘Marigold’. With its melancholic yet hopeful character, its soothing and cathartic sonic arrangement, and Sara Sue Vallee’s evocative vocals, the song resembles a warm, understanding embrace, a moment of relief in an otherwise dark reality. Written as a reaction to heartbreak, ‘Marigold’ seeks to find a new beginning, pushing the listeners towards not letting the pain of the past influence the future.
Hailing from Montreal, Canada, Sara Sue Vallee is certainly a talented songwriter. Boasting a wide artistic education – with roots in acting and filmmaking – the rising songstress manages to decode life with a creative flair, something that’s very noticeable in ‘Marigold’. Among ballad-like territories, Vallee hypnotises the listeners with her luscious and anthemic tone, quite raw, yet elegant and measured.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the piece, she explains: “At its core, this lyric-driven single is about accepting death, and in this case, letting go of a tumultuous romantic relationship to carry on with her own life. It’s about honouring the past yet moving forward with grace.”
